Try Scotland’s Central Highlands for exhilarating skiing holidays. Aonach Mor, about two miles north east of Ben Nevis, offers some of Scotland’s longest lasting snow. It’s possible to ski here until well into May. This is the best area for off-piste skiing and snowboarding. The north face of Ben Nevis is popular for gully skiing. These are steep skiing descents between 45 and 60 degrees and can be even more challenging than this in continental Europe. The best time for this sport is between March and mid-May. Corrie Sneachda, further north in Inverness-shire, is a glacial formation with steep sides. This offers the ultimate in extreme skiing. Responsible travel is recommended here as a number of skiers and mountaineers have been killed tackling the steep sides of the corrie. Enjoy your stay in Scotland from the wonders of its wilderness and extreme sports to its thousands of years of cultural heritage.
