Skiing

Centrally situated between three of the UK's top ski centres at Cairngorm, The Lecht (both an hour away) and Nevis Range (90 minutes), Inverness is well situated for finding the best snow in Scotland during our erratic winters. Downhill skiing is a wonderful sport that really hooks people.  Once you get the hang of it you will be a passionate skier for life!

The big advantages of booking a snowsports course with an Inverness provider rather than a venue-specific ski school is that a) we can take you to wherever the snow conditions and weather forecast are best on the day and b) we have a host of alternative activities to offer if there is a lack of snow on the dates of your planned trip. Inverness - there is so much going on.
