We cannot guarantee parking, even for pre-booked customers so please arrive early, consider car sharing or take the Stagecoach bus from Aviemore. On weekends and certain midweek days, there will be shuttle busses running from the Ciste car park from 9am.
Just a reminder that there are ski touring tickets available which gives you uplift on two surface lifts to get to the top station. These are only available form the ticket office, and does not include the Mountain Railway
During the winter season, and especially on weekends, our equipment rental facility will be very busy, with wait times often exceeding an hour. At present, we are only offering helmets as part of our main rental packages.
Multi-day passes are not available at the moment. Due to the changing conditions, we will release tickets only a short time in advance. If the weather is more settled, then this may change. During this busy time, we may not be able to respond to messages, comments, and email enquiries and suggest following updates on our Mountain Report.
