All Resorts Snowsports Instruction

🎉 WE'RE REOPENING! 🎉

After more than three weeks of closure following the Glenmore wildfire, we're delighted to announce that Loch Morlich Watersports and Boathouse Cafe Loch Morlich will reopen from 10.00am on Friday, 7th August! 🌊🚣‍♀️

Following a multi-agency assessment, the cordon around Glenmore will be lifted, allowing local businesses to reopen. We'd like to thank all of our customers, local residents, emergency services, and everyone who has supported us throughout this challenging time. Your patience and understanding have meant so much to our team. ❤️

⚠️ Please be aware:

Firefighting operations may still be taking place in parts of the Glenmore area as crews continue to deal with any remaining hotspots.
Some forest paths, mountain bike trails and roads will remain closed or have restricted access.
Please follow all signage and instructions from Forestry and Land Scotland and the Cairngorms National Park Authority when visiting.

🏄‍♂️ We can't wait to welcome everyone back onto the water! If you have a booking with us, we'll see you soon. If you've been waiting to get back out on Loch Morlich, bookings are now open and we look forward to seeing you this weekend.

Thank you once again for your incredible support. Here's to getting back on the water! 🌞💙

We are delighted to announce Cairngorm Mountain will reopen to visitors tomorrow, Friday 7 August 2026, following confirmation from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service that the access restrictions introduced during the recent wildfire in the Glenmore area will be lifted.

From Friday 7 August, the Cairngorm Mountain Railway and activities including Mountain Biking, Mountain Carting, Tubing Slides and the Adventure Play Park will all be operating as normal. All cafés, retail outlets and other attractions will also reopen, giving visitors the opportunity to experience everything the destination has to offer.

Mike Gifford, CEO of Cairngorm Mountain (Scotland) Ltd, said:

"We are delighted to be welcoming visitors back to Cairngorm Mountain following what has been an incredibly difficult period for our people and community.

I would like to take this opportunity to recognise the incredible efforts of everyone who has been working to tackle the wildfire since it first broke out. Having seen first-hand how difficult it is to contain the spread and ensure hotspots are extinguished across such complex terrain, we have a huge appreciation for the dedication and resilience of everyone involved. Working through long days and nights in challenging conditions, their commitment to preventing further damage has been remarkable."

"While some areas of Glenmore Forest will remain closed to allow the incident response to continue, the Highland scenery and many of the special places people come to the Cairngorms to enjoy remain as beautiful as ever. As the area reopens, every visit will help support local jobs, local businesses and the wider community as we look towards recovery."

To allow firefighting operations to continue over the coming days, we have agreed with Forestry and Land Scotland and SFRS to relocate their helicopter compound to the Coire na Ciste car park while air support for water bombing remains on scene. As a result, the motorhome stopover facilities and walkers’ car park at the Ciste will be closed until Monday 10 August at the earliest.

Well folks, Monday 4 May marks the final day of snowsports operations at Cairngorm for the 2025/26 season.

Snow cover is now very limited, with only patchy and incomplete runs remaining in the Ptarmigan Bowl, so we’ve made the decision to bring this fantastic season to a close.

We’re incredibly proud to have delivered lift-assisted snowsports from November through to May. What a season we have had!

As we transition out of the winter season, we will now return to operating under the Cairngorm Conservation Plan. This means that from tomorrow, the closed system will be in place, with funicular passengers able to enjoy travel to and from the Ptarmigan Top Station, but no access beyond the building or to the summit area.

A huge thank you to our amazing team across all departments for their hard work and dedication, and to every customer who visited this winter, you’ve made it a truly special season.

All of our summer activities including Mountain Biking, Tubing, Adventure Play Park, Ball Runs, and the Mountain Railway are open daily for visitors to enjoy. We hope to see you on the mountain soon.
