Glencoe Mountain is an alpine ski area set about Meall a' Bhuiridh in some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in Scotland. The ski area is located adjacent to the A82 road, near to the village of Glencoe, Highland, approximately 16 miles south of Fort William and 92 miles north of Glasgow.
Glencoe is the oldest alpine ski area in Scotland, the first ski tow being installed in 1955 at a cost of about £5,000.
The ski area currently has eight lifts serving some of Scotland’s longest and steepest pistes. The Coire Pollach non-detachable Poma surface / drag lift was added to the mountain for the start of the 2016 season. The current access chairlift was renovated around this time, with new chairs and engine drive, as were the cafe facilities at the base of the mountain, accompanied by a new ticketing system and a new rental building. Installation of the new Rannoch 3 person chairlift is ongoing.
