Winter Calendar
Why winter, why the Cairngorms?
The unrivalled rewards & unique challenges of Scotland’s winter mountains make this season, for many, the best of all. For some of us the first snow falls of winter send a shiver of excitement down the backbone. The Cairngorms, protected from Gulf Stream warmth, are universally recognized as providing our most consistent snow and ice conditions. They’re Britain’s highest mountain range, Scotland’s high arctic and home to our most permanent snow beds. For some of their time they may be under brilliant blue skies, at other times immersed in freezing hill fog. Any protrusion above the snow becomes caked in beautiful rime ice crystals, all marking the air flow, striking in a windward direction. In the right conditions Brocken Spectres develop – your own suspended shadow surrounded by a circular rainbow following your every move. The soft winter light interacting with wind scoured, scallop shapes expose the snows infinite layers. The winter mountains aren’t for the faint hearted but to experience them in their full winter garb is to see them at their finest. So come and join us to enjoy this winter.
