Our operations team have been farming snow to keep the slopes in good condition with a colder spell coming on over the weekend so who knows, things might hold on a bit longer!
Lots of fun to be had down at the Base Station with our Adventure Play Park, Tubing Slides, Wooden Ball Runs, and Bike Trails all open.
First train up the mountain is at 10am.
Snow Level: 700m
News from the Slopes
Big news! Our Mountain Bike Park is now open! With the mountain still open for snowsports this will mean visitors can ski or snowboard and bike at Cairngorm Mountain on the same day. All our Mountain Bike Trails are now fully open
We are currently open for snowsports every day snow cover and weather permitting. Lift Passes can be booked online or purchased on the day from the Ticket Office. Along with Mountain Biking, our Tubing Slides and Adventure Play Park are open 7 days a week (weather permitting) through to the end of October.
