Frequently Asked Questions

Please see below answers to our frequently asked questions, if you have any further queries or issues please email info@cairngormmountain.co.uk in the first instance and a member of our team will respond to you as soon as possible.

When will the mountain railway return to service?

Here is the latest update from our parent company, Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) – we’re currently aiming for the funicular to be back in service at the start of the upcoming winter season at Cairngorm Mountain, which begins on Friday 20 December 2024.  

Can I purchase my season pass online?

Once live, you will be able to purchase season passes online via our Skiperformance webshop – www.cairngormmountain.skiperformance.com – this platform allows you to purchase passes for multiple individuals in a single transaction. For first time purchasers you will be required to add a SKIDATA Key Card that your pass will be loaded on to. Existing online customers will have the ability to reload their cards from last year and head straight to the slopes.

Will I still be able to buy my season pass at the Ticket Office?

Yes, if you would prefer to buy your pass in person you can come into the Ticket Office.

How long will my season pass be valid for?

Your season pass will be valid for the full duration of the snowsports season, and you can use it as many times during that period as you like.

Can we use the mountain railway in the summer with our season pass?

Yes, you can use your season pass for the mountain railway up until it’s expiry date.

I haven't received my instructors license/membership card, will I still qualify for the Early Bird discount?

We understand that some governing bodies may not issue licenses/memberships before the end of November, therefore we have extended our Early Bird discounts for these passes until the end of December 2024.

I would like to buy someone a season pass as a gift, can I get it sent to a different address?

If you would like to buy your pass as gift please email us at info@cairngormmountain.co.uk or call us on 01479 861 261.

I've paid for my season pass, when should I expect to receive it?

We will aim to process all season passes as quickly as possible. Once produced, these will be posted to the address listed on your account (if purchased online) in advance of the snowsports season commencing, unless you have selected to collect from the Ticket Office. You will be notified by email of any changes to this.

Do I have to pay for car parking?

Car parking will be free throughout the snowsports season. Our main car park can get very busy, so we encourage customers to use the regular Aviemore Adventurer bus which can accommodate your snowsports equipment too. It also drops you right outside our front door!
