The Cairngorms National Park is home to 3 of Scotland’s 5 ski centres – The Lecht, Glenshee and CairnGorm Mountain.
CairnGorm Mountain near Aviemore is the best known of the ski and snowboard areas in the National Park. It is also the highest and holds the snow well throughout the season. There is lots of variety at CairnGorm Mountain and the terrain park’s, kickers and rails have attracted some of Britain’s best snowboarders and skiers to the area.
The Lecht lies on the A939 between Tomintoul and Strathdon and has something for everyone. It is particularly good for families and beginners with excellent nursery slopes and even a magic carpet to help get you started! The Lecht also has a great park for skiers and snowboarders who wish to test their skills on the jumps and rails.
