The Cairngorms Ski centre is right in the heart of Scotland, just a few miles outside Aviemore. It is one of the most accessible resorts with the A9 passing nearby and a train station in Aviemore with bus links up to the centre all year round. In recent years a funicular railway was built here to carry skiers, boarders and site-seers from the main centre at the car park to the Ptarmigan top station.
