Climbing Cairngorm Mountain


Climbing Cairngorm Mountain.

On the track climbing Cairngorm Mountain coming up to the Ptarmigan Visitor Centre. The climb to this point will take about an hour, with the summit of the mountain still another half hour away. The effort is well worth while as the views over the Cairngorm plateau are breathtaking.

Funicular Railway Cairngorm mountain


Funicular Railway Cairngorm mountain.

An excellent day out on Cairngorm mountain. Take the funicular railway to the Ptarmigan Visitor centre. You'll find an informative exhibition as well as restaurant and shop.

The viewing platform allows you to take in superb views over Loch Morlich to Aviemore, but be warned, if you want to visit the summit you're going to have to do it the hard way as access to the mountain is only allowed during the skiing season!
