Cairngorm
The Cairngorm Mountain ski area is situated right in the heart of the Cairngorm National Park. Aviemore just off the A9 main road is just 10 miles from the base station.
Aviemore offers plenty of varied accommodation and is also served by a direct rail link from both London Euston and Inverness (allowing you to fly up to Inverness and take the train to Aviemore) if you don't want to drive. There is a regular bus from Aviemore to the Caringorm base station that runs when the ski area is open (bus route 31)
