Cairngorm Mountain Resort: UK’s Highest Restaurant + Mogul Fields for Pros!

#skitrip Nestled in the Cairngorms, this resort offers Scotland’s most challenging skiing—think steep mogul fields and epic off-piste terrain for advanced riders. But it’s not just for pros: a dedicated beginner area with magic carpets and snow factory snow lets newbies learn in safety. A 3-hour drive from Inverness, it’s home to the UK’s highest restaurant (Ptarmigan) with panoramic mountain views, plus easy access to Aviemore’s vibrant apres-ski scene. Snow lasts well into April, and the nearby national park offers hiking and wildlife spotting—making it a top pick for multi-day winter getaways.
