The Home of Scottish Skiing, Glencoe arguably offers some of the best skiing and snowboarding in Scotland.

One visit to Glencoe is all it will take for you to appreciate why Scotland’s first commercial ski centre is such a perennial favourite with Scottish snow worshippers. Located on the west coast against a backdrop of dramatic and breathtaking scenery, Glencoe is commonly considered by many to be the most alpine of Scotland’s ski centres, distinctively blending a friendly atmosphere with an inspiring sense of wildness. Renowned for exhilarating skiing and snowboarding and a great snow holding record, this is a ski area with bags of character, a superb diversity of terrain for all standards and a very unique appeal that will entice you back again and again.

It’s 3,636ft of mountain adventure that arguably offers some of the best skiing and snowboarding in Scotland. From narrow gullies to wide open bowls and from invitingly easy to surprisingly steep, at Glencoe you’ll discover 2,600 vertical feet of superb natural terrain. Whatever kind of skiing or riding you’re looking for, Glencoe’s got it… Perfect for beginners - the extensive gentle nursery areas on the Plateau and easy progression on to Mugs Alley are a great confidence builder for any beginner or novice. Ideal for intermediates – perfect your turns on the wide, open pistes of the Main Basin, cruise from the summit down the long sweeping, forgiving contours of Etive Glades or head for the popular High Road off Mugs Alley – the terrain’s exciting, it’s diverse and the choice is yours… Advancing the advanced – if this is where you’re at, then welcome to true Braveheart country! A named FIS World Speed Skiing venue, Glencoe also boasts the longest vertical descent (2,600ft/792m) and the steepest on-piste black run in Scotland (The Fly Paper). And don’t forget the Spring Run - it’s steep, fast, fun and a favourite haunt with regulars.

Whether its your body or the weather that lets you down, or you just fancy a change from the piste, there’s no need to worry about what else to do…the breathtaking mountain views and moorland scenery surrounding Glencoe, play host to a surprising and exciting array of alternative winter activities. For the experienced, the obvious choice is to head back to the hills to tackle some of the finest winter mountaineering in the world. However, if this doesn’t tickle your fancy, then how about…mountain biking, exploring beaches on horseback, woodland trail walking, white water rafting, sea kayaking, paragliding, golfing, bird/wildlife watching, castle spotting or maybe even nipping in to the nearby town of Fort William for a Macdonald’s, a spot of shopping, a quick dook at the leisure centre or to catch the latest movie…need we go on?
