Summary at a Glance

Located on the Cairngorm mountain in the Scottish Highlands, the 2km cable railway line ascends 1,097 metres above sea level to connect visitors to a ski area and Ptarmigan Top Station.

Interim CEO of CMSL Tim Hurst said: ‘The Cairngorm Mountain team are overjoyed to be welcoming customers onto the funicular railway once more.

A third person who reviewed their trip to Cairngorm mountain added: ‘What a treat… The funicular railway was well organised.

The service, located near Aviemore, is operated by Cairngorm Mountain (Scotland) Ltd (CMSL).

The railway, which opened in 2001, was shut for repair works in 2018, and (aside from a few months in 2023 when it briefly reopened), it has been closed ever since.
