Drove over to Glencoe while on holiday nearby. Had a really hearty breakfast of rolls with bacon and potato scones at the café. We then had a ride on the chairlift and a climb up to the summit through the happy valley. Stopped to have a look in the haggis trap but sadly there wasn't any hiding that day! Really amazing views and the staff are great!

We wanted to take our teens to the tubing run, but not being familiar with the area, had no idea where to find it, other than the Cairngorm Ski Area which our sat nav refused to find. For the benefit of other non-locals, follow the Old Logging Way past Loch Morlich and the Reindeer Centre, beyond the Sugar Bowl car park and on a short distance to Coire Cas car park. This is the base station of the ski area and we found that putting Cairngorm Mountain Railway in the sat nav (even though it’s not been running a while) got us there. Tubing is in the base station area, opposite the Ranger Station. It is open from 10am and costs £6 per tube for a 45 minute session. It is £20 for a family of four - buy your tickets in the shop. What fantastic fun. The two guys pushing you off at the top were so nice - they must have been exhausted giving everyone a push off and all the time with such enthusiasm. It really came over that they wanted every single rider to have a fantastic and memorable time. Our 16,14 and 9 year olds loved it (9 year old moaned a bit about having to lug her tube up a few flights of steps back to the top each time). We were all pretty tired after 45 minutes. Up to the cafe for a nice lunch (mac n cheese, burger, chilli beef wrap and fish pie), open fire, and live ceilidh music. Can’t beat it! To check that things are running, keep up to speed with the Cairngorm Mountain Facebook page.

Took a last minute trip up on a Sunday beginning of March. Was really great! Staff could not have been nicer !!! Loads of medics on the slope (although gladly not in much action). Tow staff were all fab, patient and friendly! One of our party was a complete novice and had a lesson with the ski school and got on brilliantly! Staff in the cafe were very busy and all had smiles on their faces! Food reasonably priced and the place was packed! Think it was about 2.30 for a coffee and 3 quid odds for a beer. They also had vegan and veggie options which was good to see. No wi-Fi which didn’t bother us at all. Great atmosphere in cafe because if it! Brilliant amount of parking with attendants to guide into spaces. Queues for tickets and equipment hire moved quickly with no issues. The only thing that needs a bit of TLC was the loos.. bit tired and could do with a refurb. Overall still really good venue. A thing we missed out on was booking 48hours in advance to exploit their ‘mega deals’ of hire and lift pass as a combo... but will defo be back to do so soon! Prices generally great value for money though especially for last minute .. lesson was £30 for 2 hours for complete beginner, and about 60 quid each for lift pass and kit hire. Brilliant day all round! Thanks again x

I booked a private lesson (1.5 hours) for my boyfriend and for I. My boyfriend has been skiing before but over 10 years ago and I have been skiing in my life so I was pretty nervous. James our instructor was great. He made me feel really comfortable and I learnt so much in an hour and a half. My boyfriend soon started to remember how to ski after a few attempts but James gave him some hints and tips on how to be better. I would definitely recommend going here if you are a beginner to skiing and would recommend the private lesson to start.
