Happy Monday! This week it is a return to chillier weather with colder temperatures and even a light dusting of snow lying across the Cairngorms.

Funicular uplift for Mountain Bikes is now available every day the railway is operating and we have a special “Mid-Week, Off-Peak” offer for 25% off on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays outside of main school holiday periods.

All adventure activities are open daily including the Tubing Slides, Adventure Play Park, and Wooden Ball Runs.

Bluebird Saturday on the 'Gorm. The weather won't be as nice on Sunday, but surface conditions should loosen up across the mountain as the freezing level nudges up on Sunday to give great spring snow after recent freeze / thaw cycles.
