The Cairngorms National Park is an area of outstanding natural beauty in Scotland, known for its rugged landscape, diverse wildlife, and outdoor activities. One of the park’s most popular attractions is the Cairngorm Mountain Railway, which is Scotland’s only funicular railway and the highest in the UK. This remarkable feat of engineering takes you on a breathtaking journey up the mountain, offering stunning views of the surrounding scenery. 

The Cairngorms funicular railway is a unique experience that allows you to reach heights of over 3,500 feet above sea level.

The journey takes around 10 minutes, during which you can enjoy panoramic views of the Cairngorms National Park and the surrounding countryside. At the top of the mountain, you can explore the viewing platform, take a guided walk, or enjoy a meal in the restaurant.
