What visitors say
Beautiful place to visit with stunning mountain views. The chairlift is a fantastic experience, and there is a restaurant, clean toilets, and plenty of parking available. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature. I would highly recommend visiting—100%! Just make sure you arrive early, as the chairlift closes at 4:30 pm.

Had a great weekend away with the family. Also a massive thank you to instructor Kieran what a great guy. Really helped my daughter who just started to learn to ski. Such a great attitude. He was fantastic. 👍🏻

I have had some absolutely brilliant days at Glenshee this winter! The snow has been amazing, and the staff have put in a monumental effort to get as much open as possible. There is a great variety of runs available, including lots of greens for beginners like me! I’ve only had wonderful experience with the staff, both for equipment hire and lifts - being met with kindness and banter alike. I hadn’t done a poma lift before and the liftie at the time took his time to explain to me how it worked. The staff working in equipment hire have always been so helpful too, even when it’s absolutely rammed busy. Just couldn’t recommend it more really! Such a Scottish gem!!
