Winter Sports 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.
We are very fortunate in that we have a second excellent ski
resort close by. The Lecht is just 45 minutes drive from Aviemore
and operates 14 lifts.

The Ravenscraig is well placed for access to the numerous ski shops in the village offering hire and instruction for all abilities. The regular 'ski bus' stops outside the house if you don't have transport of your own, and we have a very useful drying room for airing the ski suits and boots overnight. There is also a ski store for the equipment.
Below are some useful links to ski schools which offer hire and instruction packages designed to suit all requirements;
