Bringing Your Dog

A Guide For Where Your Dog Can Explore

Cairngorm Mountain is the perfect place to visit for those with furry friends, with several dog friendly facilities and a variety of both leisurely and longer walks departing from the main car park. It is important that dogs are kept on a lead and under close control when out exploring the mountain, especially during the nesting bird season.

Dogs On The Funicular Railway

Dogs are not permitted to travel from the Base Station to the Top Station on the Mountain Railway, with the exception of assistance dogs.

This is due to there being no outdoor access from the Top Station when the closed system is in place outside of the snowsports season.

ABOUT THE CLOSED SYSTEM

Dog Walking on Cairngorm Mountain

Dogs Out On The Mountain

Dogs are welcome to accompany you during your visit, whether you are heading out for a hike, or participating in one of our activities.

Visitors who have walked up to the Ptarmigan Top Station with their dogs are allowed to bring them inside to use the facilities. In this case, you can then travel down with them on the Mountain Railway.

Dogs Friendly Facilities

Dogs are welcome in all our Base Station facilities including the Ticket Office, Mountain Shop, Cairngorm Café, Cas Bar, Bike & Equipment Rental, and Toilets.

They are allowed in the Mountain Garden and Adventure Play Park but are not permitted in the Mountain Bike Park and on the pistes during snowsports operations.
