Background

History

Glencoe is the oldest alpine ski area in Scotland, the first ski tow being installed in 1955 at a cost of about £50,000. The ski area currently has eight lifts serving some of Scotland’s longest and steepest pistes. The main resort building suffered a fire on Christmas Day 2019, which necessitated the demolition of the main cafe, ticket office and rental department. Temporary replacement structures were erected, including the 'White Corries Cafe' at the bottom of the car park. The new 'White Corries Cafe' opened in March 2022, and most temporary buildings were removed at that time. The ticket office remains in a temporary building until further notice.
