Funicular Touring Pass

We’re pleased to announce a new option for ski tourers and splitboarders visiting Cairngorm Mountain this winter with limited touring access via the Funicular Railway, available on selected days when snow cover and conditions are right.

It is not available to Hill Walkers and Climbers. This distinction is required under the Visitor Management Plan and the planning conditions attached to the Funicular railway. Hill-walkers and climbers are, as always, welcome to access the mountain by walking up from lower elevations.

If snow cover reduces, or late-season snow protection protocols apply, touring tickets – including those allowing Funicular access – may be withdrawn at short notice.

Description

The Funicular Touring Pass offers ski tourers and splitboarders a more efficient and enjoyable way to access Cairn Gorm’s backcountry terrain, when conditions allow. By using the Funicular during periods of good snow cover, travel across fragile ground is reduced, helping protect the mountain environment while improving the touring experience.

Available only when snow conditions are suitable, this ticket provides a single ascent on the Funicular Railway, allowing you to start your day higher on the mountain and focus your time and energy on touring rather than approach. It’s a practical, environmentally responsible option that aligns with long-established touring access on Cairn Gorm.
