The snowsports season typically runs from December through until April, but this varies from year to year depending on weather. You don’t have to have your own ski or snowboard equipment either, because you can hire everything you need with us.Check our website or facebook page for regular updates on the ski season.

We use locally sourced products where possible and have a delicious range of hot and cold dishes including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. You can also enjoy a choice of locally produced beers from Aviemore or a selection of wines and spirits. We're dog friendly too however there are restrictions for the mountain railway.
In the winter months cosy up inside our cafe in front of the log burner with great views and in the warmer months enjoy sitting on our balcony.
