| Cairgorm Mountain is one of Scotland's 5 ski centres. It is situated in the Cairgorms, a plateau of hills over 3000ft, just south of Aviemore, about a 40 minute drive from Inverness. During the winter, the resort operates as long is there is snow, and the windspeed is not above 80mph. In the summer, tourists can access the great views offered from the top, by taking the funicular. | ||||||||||||
