The Ski Season is Here!

There are some who say that the Cairgorm mountains are amid the best slopes in Europe for snow sports. The thousand who visit Aviemore every year would certainly agree. With multiple slopes of varying difficulty, easy access by road, the funicular railway for an easy ascent and the comfort and warmth of the The Cas Bar, the mountains certainly seem to offer it all.
As of last week the slopes are now officially open. A milder day today saw a resulting thaw from mid mountain down. The Lady, M1 and Cas runs have held up well providing good snow sports for around 500 skiers and boarders and there has been a lot of fresh drifting on the top runs.
The mountain also boasts the highest restaurant in the United Kingdom at 1097m above sea level. Open daily for visitors, the panoramic windows in the Ptarmigan offer spectacular views of the area and the mountain weather, so those not so keen on a full day of winter sports fun can still enjoy the peaceful tranquility of the view.
Muckrach Lodge is not only ideally situated to be a great base for winter sport enthusiasts, but we also have a helpful staff knowledgeable about the conditions of the mountain who are always keen to help.
Of course the three roaoring log fires we boast and our extensive whisky collection my aslo be of some appeal after a chilly day off piste. Our comfortable lounge bar is the perfect place to unwind after a hard but satisfying day on the mountain, and our three course a la carte menu an excellent way to revive some of that lagging energy.
So why not pack up the thermal socks, pop on a winter scarf and come pay us a visit for a weekend of winter fun.
