Glencoe

Area Profile

Scotland's original ski centre began life as a weekend haunt for dedicated enthusiasts. Still regarded by many as the country's best ski centre, with a world-class vertical, it is located in an awesome location at the South end of a spectacular valley. The centre is now open 7 days with optional high-value packages including ski-hire and instruction (based on-slope) and lift pass. A wide variety of accommodation is available locally.

Glencoe has some of the most challenging riding of any Scottish area and is famed for having some of the best freestyle runs in the country. Without doubt one of Scotland's best 'boarding' areas according to Snowboard World magazine.

The Cliffhanger chairlift is good for beginners who find difficulty with getting on a button lift. Its a single chairlift and easily manageable. From there you can get onto Mugs Alley, a green run.

No need to build a fun park as the natural terrain provides plenty of challenges - The Canyon and Thrombosis forming natural pipes and the Haggis Trap a great gully jump.

Snowboards can be hired at the Centre with lessons available from qualified instructors.
