Snowsports at Cairngorm Mountain
Cairngorm Mountain has been offering snowsports for over 50 years. We offer 30km of ski runs, 11 lifts, a fully maintained freestyle park. 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.
Our snowmaking machine means we will have snow from 7th Dec 2019 – keep an eye out on our web site and Facebook page for regular operations updates and news of all the events and activities we have planned at Cairngorm Mountain for the forthcoming season.
