The Coire Cas T-Bar is now open! Some great snowsports on offer even with the drifting snow.

We still have some work to do, digging out our infrastructure and top building, so there may be a delay tomorrow in getting some things up and running.
Check our updates from 8.00 am for the lates information.

We kindly ask that no one parks in any mountain car parks overnight, especially during snow storms as this can impact our snow clearing operations. There is overnight parking available in Glenmore.

:: CairnGorm Mountain Lift Status & News
Advance Lift Pass bookings for Snowsports are now available through our webshop for the next few weeks â€' this is the only way to guarantee a lift pass. We may have walk-in capacity on the day, but these are not guaranteed and issued on a first-come, first-serve basis dependent on what terrain we have available. Whilst we anticipate being busy with snowsports, foot passengers are still welcome to come and enjoy the Mountain Railway. Tickets for the Mountain Railway will only be available from the Ticket Office, not online.

We cannot guarantee parking, even for pre-booked customers so please arrive early. On weekends and certain midweek days, there will be shuttle busses running from the Ciste car park from 9am. There is a regular Stagecoach bus from Aviemore or you could consider car sharing through the new Mountain Rideshare service.

During this busy time, we may not be able to respond to messages, comments, and email enquiries and suggest following updates on our Mountain Report.
