service providers who will be expecting you & whom
we know will do their very best to ensure you get the

GLENSHEE
(click here for Hotels
& Self-Catering)
packages include hire of equipment and 2hrs daily tuition. If classes fall below 5 in number then beginners
lessons will be reduced accordingly.
Private lessons, and personal SKI GUIDES are available on request subject to availability.
Glenshee
is the most extensive skiing area in Scotland with 25
miles of downhill runs over four mountains and three
valleys. The lifts,
main facilities and nursery areas are situated right
at the car park level and beginners have an added bonus
of not normally having to purchase a lift ticket on
their first day!
Glenshee offers something
for everyone, and its spectacular setting will entice
even the most timid of novices to explore the great
snowbowls to the east. The resort is also well suited
to the intermediate skier with 26 blue and red runs.
For the advanced skier the famous moguls of the Tiger
have been a rite of passage for home-grown enthusiasts
for years. Snowboarding has also been associated with
Glenshee since the beginnings of the sport with the
first ever British Championships being held there.
Many skiers and snowboarders
have said that when Glenshee is at its best, it compares
if not surpasses many of the smaller European resorts!
For skiers and snowboarders
alike, Glenshee offers a great variety in terrain - huge snowbowls,
steep mogulled slopes, sheltered descents and relaxed
runs. Glenshee builds confidence whatever your standard.

NEVIS
RANGE and Accommodation (click here
for hotels & self
catering) packages include hire of equipment, 2hrs
tuition and lift passes. We are unable to pre-book ski suits as these are hired on a first come
first served basis direct from the resort.
Set in the mountains
of Lochaber, Nevis Range offers a wide range of facilities.
The nursery area including a small dry ski slope and
the Snowgoose Restaurant plus very cosy Snowgoose Bar
at the foot of the main skiing area are easily reached
using the Nevis Range Gondola. From here there is access
to a good range of intermediate runs with more challenging
runs further up the mountain.
The views from the summit
plateau of Aonach Mor to Ben Nevis are spectacular.
It is here that you will find the highest ski run in
Scotland, just below 4000ft. The opening up of Corrie
Dubh and its Braveheart Chairlift has widened the skiing
choice here including off-piste runs for the experienced
in this snow-holding hollow.
Nevis Range offers great
opportunities for competent skiers and boarders both
on and off piste.
There are a limited number of small lockers
for which a deposit is payable, unfortunately due to limited number these are not pre bookable. Skies etc can be left overnight in stands at the bottom station in the Gondola hall.
