"The definitive guide to backcountry in this wonderful part of the world."  Roger Cox, Arts & Books Editor at The Scotsman & Scotland on Sunday

The Cairngorms are among Britain's snowiest and wildest mountains. The Cairngorm plateau is cut with multiple big corries which hold wild crags and lochs. When the snow cover is sufficient there is great touring terrain.

Skiing & Snowboarding in the Cairngorms National Park is the definitive guidebook to backcountry skiing and snowboarding, not only in the Northern Cairngorms, but also in the neighbouring areas of the Monadhliath, Drumochter, Beinn a' Ghlo, Glenshee, Glen Doll and the Eastern Cairngorms accessible from Deeside.

The guide contains over 800 images, along with detailed route descriptions and loads of info regarding timings, hazards and access.

  • 360 routes & 11 long distance ski tours
  • 55 maps
  • 800+ images
  • Authors - Blair Aitken, Jamie Johnston, Katie Henderson and Scott Muir

Packed with detailed route descriptions, slope gradings, maps, topographical images and stunning photos.  It's the essential companion for Scottish skiing and boarding.  Along the way, discover folklore and stories from these mountains that span centuries.

Whether seeking mellow slopes, challenging gully descents, a snow reliable tour, or the best place to ski and snowboard in mid summer, this guide unlocks every aspect of the sport in the Cairngorms.
