CairnGorm Mountain

CairnGorm Mountain is home to Scotland’s only funicular railway. This is a unique visitor experience that allows people of all abilities to reach the Top Station where the Ptarmigan Restaurant is located with panoramic views from over 3,500ft. There is also a viewing terrace, exhibition, shop and the highest post box in the British isles. In order to protect the plateau outwith our snowsports operation, funicular passengers are not permitted to exit the top station to go onto the mountain unless they are booked on a guided walk.

CairnGorm Mountain is Scotland’s favourite snowsports destination! Located in the heart of the Cairngorm National Park the Ski Area is not only home to over 30km of pisted runs, but also boasts phenomenal panoramic views from over 3,500ft. With 35 different runs within the Ski Area there is something for every ability of skier and boarder. We have everything you could possibly need for a perfect day of snowsports all located onsite. Visit the equipment hire where our friendly staff will be waiting to kit you out with everything you need for a day of fun or pop into The Snow School before starting your day if you would like to get some lessons. This is an ideal solution for those who are either looking to hit the slopes for the first time or simply trying to take their snowsports to the next level!

Our wide variety of runs can be accessed from your 11 different lifts, including the UK’s highest Funicular Railway. The Funicular Railway is accessible for both snowsports enthusiasts and those simply wanting to enjoy a meal in Scotland’s highest restaurant and browse our retail outlets. In addition to the runs themselves there is also a great selection of freestyle areas spread out throughout the Ski Area. Skiers and snowboarders alike can try their first rail in at the Shieling Shred or even grab some big air in the Ptarmigan Freestyle Park. CairnGorm Mountain is also home to the UK’s only Half Pipe and a great series of freestyle events such as the Scottish Freestyle Championships, Ptarmigan Slopestyle Jam, VANS Hi-Standard Series and Bag The Pipe.

Visitors to CairnGorm Mountain can enjoy a Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino or a Chai Tea Latte whilst taking in the phenomenal views down to Loch Morlich from over 2,000ft. The Storehouse also boasts a variety of home-made dishes, daily specials and freshly made cakes and pastries made in our in-house bakery. With new options on the menu such as our famous smokey seafood platter it’s no surprise that the food keeps flying out of the kitchen!

“It’s great to see the flocks of people coming and going in our new Storehouse and Outfitters. In the mornings you can expect to see lots of young snowboarders, skiers and hill walkers coming in for a full Scottish breakfast, bacon roll or hot chocolate before a busy day on the slopes. At lunch time we welcome lots of Funicular Railway customers who pop in to take advantage of the new Starbucks coffee and pick up either a freshly made scone or the chefs special dish of the day. There is nowhere better to experience some of the best views in the world in a completely natural environment! I believe we have truly been able to create something special with our Storehouse and Outfitters and have something to offer everyone here at CairnGorm Mountain.” – Janette Jansson, General Manager at Natural Retreats CairnGorm Mountain.

The original concept for The Storehouse was born in John O’Groats where it completely transformed the previous offering. It was at John O’Groats that Executive Chef Hamish Reid was able to create many new and exciting dishes with a great selection of local Scottish suppliers such as Annie’s Bakery in Caithness. Annie’s bakery now supplies us with a totally unique panini exclusive to Natural Retreats – perhaps this is the reason that our customers have already gobbled up over 1,300 paninis between them. The Caithness Smokehouse have also created a smoked butter just for us!

The Storehouse Restaurant, which is based in level 2 of the Day Lodge offers a great meeting point for skiers, boarders, walkers, climbers and mountaineers. It is open daily for all mountain visitors and serves breakfast from 9am-11am, then a full menu from 11am-to close. The Storehouse can also be booked for private evening events for those that are wanting something a little special!
