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. 2019 brings a new snow factory to Cairngorm Mountain to provide base station level skiing for beginners accessed with a rope tow. The snow created will also help provide access from the lower slopes to the mid station for the upper lifts.
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. 2019 sees the introduction of a snow factory to provide guaranteed skiing on the beginner slopes throughout the season.
Glenshee lies on the A93 near Braemar on the road from Blairgowrie. Glenshee is the largest ski and snowboard area in Scotland and home to the infamous Tiger, one of the most challenging black runs around. Glenshee also has lots of terrain – both natural and manmade - to keep all abilities happy with endless gullies, bowls, jumps and hits to explore. On a clear day the views across the Cairngorms National Park are a sight to behold.
