Not everyone has the legs for Munro bagging, but this doesn’t mean that they have to miss out on Scotland’s mountains.
Just of Aviemore the CairnGorm Mountain Railway is on hand to whisk passengers up the mighty Cairn Gorm – at 1245m/4084ft the fifth highest mountain in the UK. The funicular eases you up the mountain in no time to the Ptarmigan Restaurant where you can enjoy the sweeping views without the effort of hiking up there. Look out too for their regular ceilidhs and family-friendly theme events that this venue regularly hosts.
