About Cairngorm Mountain
Cairngorm Mountain sits in the Cairngorms National Park above Aviemore, with a funicular railway climbing to the Ptarmigan station at 1,097 metres. The mountain is exposed to Atlantic storms and Arctic air, so a calm, white morning can turn into a gale within hours. These Cairngorm Mountain webcams show the plateau weather from top to bottom.
Which Cairngorm Mountain webcam to check first
Start with the streaming camera on the Ptarmigan terrace for cloud and visibility on the upper mountain. The base, middle and top station cameras show snow cover, and Fiacaill Ridge shows the wind-scoured terrain.
Before you go to Cairngorm Mountain
Check Cairngorm's mountain report, the Met Office mountain forecast and the Scottish Avalanche Information Service before you go. Wind often closes lifts here.
Webcams and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. A camera can't tell you whether a lift, piste, road or off-piste route is open or safe.
