Ski and Snowboard

We are lucky to have Cairngorm ski centre  just a short drive away. It holds the snow well throughout the season, with lots of variety. The terrain park’s, kickers and rails have attracted some of Britain’s best snowboarders and skiers to the area.http://www.cairngormmountain.org/

The Lecht lies on the A939 between Tomintoul and Strathdon and has something for everyone.  It is particularly good for families and beginners with excellent nursery slopes and even a magic carpet to help get you started!  The Lecht also has a great park for skiers and snowboarders who wish to test their skills

Cross Country Skiing

There are trails at Loch Morlich and the Slochd. The Slochd offers some of the best cross country skiing in Scotland, with an extensive ski hire department with a selection of skis for trails and low level ski touring in the forest tracks. http://www.slochd.co.uk/nordic.html

and not forgetting sledging!

  In many winters we have snow in the village and the local children use the golf course for sledging. This photo was taken at Cairngorm Ski Resort.
