Company Background and Culture / Location Overview
Cairngorm Mountain is a popular snowsports destination in Scotland, located within the Cairngorms National Park. In winter, the resort, managed by Cairngorm Mountain (Scotland) Ltd, is a commercial ski operation attracting over 120,000 skiing and snowboarding visitors in the busy winter period. In summer, the mountain resort serves as a summer tourist destination attracting circa 200,000 annual visitors.
The Cairngorm Mountain (Scotland) Ltd estate covers 1,418 hectares and is an internationally renowned area of scientific interest, with the area containing unique natural habitats and wildlife protected by EU legislation requiring conservation and careful land management.

Sitting within the UK’s highest mountain range, visitors can enjoy spectacular views across the National Park, whilst enjoying a walk, eating lunch, having a coffee and cake, visiting our exhibition space, or watching the kids engage in our adventure sports activities.
