Glencoe Ski Centre

Glencoe Ski Centre is situated only 75miles from Glasgow making it one of the most accessible resorts for those in the South West of Scotland. Glencoe has one of the smaller uplifts, which on a nice day can mean long queues. However, the wait is worth it for what I consider to be some of the best wide open slopes you will find skiing in Scotland. When you are skiing down the slopes it never feels too busy either due to the relatively small numbers of skiers the T-bar tows can deliver to the top of the mountain. The lift company limit the number of passes sold so this also helps stop the area becoming to crowded but I would recommend you arrive there fairly early (8.30am or earlier) to avoid disappointment.

The slopes at Glencoe Ski Centre offer a good range of skier, whether you "cruise the blues" or you like a challenge on the reds and blacks. The beginner area is ample and here the sound of swooshing snow is also accompanied by music through the centre load speaker.
