Not
always a first choice, ski resorts in
Scotland suffer from the infamous
Scottish weather and snowfall and are therefore not as reliable. It can snow
any time between September and June. However, when conditions are good ski
holidays in
Scotland
offer the chance to ski under blue skies with barely another person in sight.
Adding this to this the fact that all the ski resorts in Scotland are within
easy reach of Edinburgh, Inverness or Aberdeen airports, a Scottish skiing
holiday becomes very tempting.
Scotland
offers alpine (downhill) and Nordic (cross-country) skiing, as well as the
increasingly popular snowboarding. The ski resorts in
Scotland are
ideal for beginners who will be able to take advantage of expert tuition. There
are also more challenging slopes for advanced skiers.
Cairngorm
has a £15 million Funicular railway and
Nevis
Range,
a modern gondola, which are a boon to skiers and boarders when the snow falls.
