Edinburgh Ski Centres

Range of skiing activities 

Whether you are a single person, a couple or a family you can enjoy snowboarding, freestyle, tubing, racing, jumping...

The snowsports centre has 2 main slopes (you can enjoy skiing all year round) and it is also Scotland and Britain's biggest artificial slope with 2 nursery slopes, jump slope and a range of freestyle features; enough to satisfy everyone. 

You can of course have private lessons, be a complete beginner or advanced, be a 6 years old (minimum age to participate in an easy ski class) or not that young. Classes vary from snowplough to snowboarding and from freestyle to giant slalom, so quite a wide range on offer.  

If you can already ski competently and use the chairlift and tows you can go straight to the slopes.

  The main slope is 400m long (1,312 ft), the tow slop is 320m long (1,050 ft) and both nursery slopes measure 50m (164 ft). There is a fun slope which is 60m long (196 ft).
