No wonder it's been such a great success and has exceeded all expectations since its opening. It now averages 60 round trips per day carrying an average of 80 passengers per trip. What's been even more encouraging is that nearly 50% of the tickets have been sold to non-skiing visitors. Doesn't this clearly demonstrate the impact of the funicular as a major tourist attraction?

The environmentalists and others opposed to the development claimed that visitors would stay away in droves, appalled by the treatment meted out to Cairn Gorm - this doesn't seem to be the case does it?


Young and old alike can travel safely to the top of Cairngorm at any time of year - you don't need to be a skier.
