:: CairnGorm Mountain Official Report

Last Update 13.47hrs on Sunday 1st Feb 2026

All access roads are now open and passable and car parks clear.
Upper car parks now full - please park in Coire na Ciste car park.

With this spell of unpredictable weather continuing, advance bookings are on-hold for Snowsports and the Mountain Railway next week.

It is our intention to operate the Lower Conveyors, Car Park T Bar, Coire Cas T bar and M1 Poma.

There will be delay on getting the Mountain Railway up and running, whilst we carry out our checks and test runs and clear the Ptarmigan Building fire exits. Updates to follow.

Snowsports will be on the front side of the hill to start, whilst we assess other areas after the recent storms.

Our online ticket sales are at capacity. Walk in ticket sales may be available depending on other uplift coming on, but we cannot guarantee this.
Shuttle buses will be operating from The Coire na Ciste Car Park.

Lastly, 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.
