Skiing, Snowboarding & Winter Climbing in Aviemore
Aviemore is Scotland's number one ski and snowboarding resort with a full range of facilities and instruction for both sports. The Cairngorm Mountain, in the heart of the National Park, has been providing skiing for more than forty years, and with the addition of the new funicular railway in 2001, is still competing as a major winter sports destination. www.cairngormmountain.com
We are very fortunate in that we have a second excellent ski resort close by. The Lecht is just 40 minutes drive from Aviemore and operates 14 lifts. More information can be found on www.lecht.co.uk

The Ravenscraig Guest House is well placed for access to the numerous ski shops in the village offering hire, instruction and lift passes. The ski bus to the hill stops right outside and runs hourly if you do not wish to take the car.
