Overview

Glencoe

Glencoe is Scotland's original ski centre dating back to 1956. It has an awesome location at the South end of a valley. The resort began life as a weekend haunt for dedicated skiers and has become increasingly popular in recent years among more daredevil skiers and riders. It is one run in particular called the Fly Paper - the steepest black run in Britain - that offers the biggest appeal. In total Glencoe has seven lifts serving its runs: four green, five blue, six red and one black. A wide variety of accommodation is available locally. Glencoe is a popular day trip destination for Glaswegians.

Glencoe Ski Centre is having a great season with continuing snowfall. 5" of fresh snow fell last night (Mon 14th April). Skiing on the upper and middle slopes is fantastic. Lower runs... [! full_review
