The Perfect Mountain Environment For Your First Snowsports Experience

For those experiencing snowsports for the first time we have everything you need to kick-start your journey with an on-site equipment rental facility, dedicated area’s for beginners, and a range of gentle slopes accessible when conditions allow.

So we can ensure the safety of all mountain users, it is essential for beginners of any age to book a lesson, unless they are accompanied by a competent skier or snowboarder.

We do not currently operate our own in-house snowsports school however, we work closely in partnership with highly qualified, local businesses who operate independently on the mountain to offer quality instruction and provide our customers with the best learning experience possible.

Staying Safe

Keeping you Safe on the Slopes

We operate a professional full-time Ski Patrol who look after piste safety, piste marking and assistance in the event of any unlikely accident. Our main ski patrol base is located in the Aonach Room (by the Ranger base entrance).

Cairngorm Mountain Ski Patrol

Make sure you stick to the 10 FIS (International Ski and Snowboard Federation) rules for conduct when you are out enjoying the ski area.

Our Ski Patrol only operate within the marked boundary which can be seen on our piste map. If you are venturing outside of the boundary and an incident occurs and you or your companions are injured, you must call for mountain rescue assistance – Dial 999 or 101 and ask for ‘police’ then ‘mountain rescue’. You can find out more information exploring outside of the ski area here.
