ABOUT USLocated 74 miles north of Glasgow, Glencoe extends over 200 hectares and operates on the Meall A'Bhuiridh Massif, amidst some of the most stunning scenery in Scotland.
Originally known as White Corries, Glencoe was the first commercial Scottish Ski Area with the construction of the first overhead ski lift on Meall A'Bhuiridh in 1956.
We now operate 7 days a week not only providing our customers with better service, but also employing around a further 30 staff in the winter season.
With 7 lifts and 19 runs, Glencoe is by no means the largest ski centre in Scotland, but it's still a firm favourite with many Scottish skiers and boarders thanks to its unique and exhilarating terrain, and a snow holding record second to none.
THE ENVIRONMENTGlencoe ski area lies in the midst of some of Scotland's most spectacular scenery, of national importance for its high landscape quality. Nearby, the rocky peak of Buchaille Etive Mor (meaning the great shepherd of Etive) thrusts high above the entrances to Glen Etive and Glen Coe. The view of it from the ski centre's car park or the restaurant window is superb and the prospect from the top of the chairlift, across Rannoch Moor to Ben Nevis, is unsurpassed at any other Scottish ski area.
Part of the ski area lies within the Stob Dearg and Cam Ghleann Geological Conservation Review Site of Special Scientific Interest, and all of it is within the Ben Nevis and Glen Coe National Scenic Area. The corrie behind the top of the chairlift contains an interesting series of moraines deposited by a small glacier long after the main ice age, and remarkable miniature lobes and terraces that are still changing due to freezing and thawing in the subarctic-oceanic climate.
FACILITIESMountain Restaurants Both our Mountain Restaurants offer a variety of hot and cold meals, snacks and drinks throughout the day. Enjoy spectacular panoramic views from our large Log Cabin Restaurant at the foot of the slopes or relax in the cosy atmosphere of The Plateau Mountain Café, just by the Cliffhanger Chairlift.
