Roger, the organiser, has a message for the sports community regarding The Lecht Ski Centre. Situated on the A939 between Cockbridge and Tomintoul in Strathdon, Scotland, The Lecht stands at an impressive 2090 feet (645m) in the Eastern Cairngorms. This ski centre is a fantastic spot for outdoor activities throughout the year.
Since its inception in the mid-1970s, The Lecht has transformed from a modest layby and cattle grid into a haven for snow enthusiasts. The centre was purposely crafted to be user-friendly, especially for beginners looking to dive into snowsports. With hills up to 2,700 feet (775m), The Lecht is superb at holding snow, making it a great choice for skiing and snowboarding.
Even if you're not into snowsports, Roger highlights the chairlift ride that offers breathtaking panoramic views. The Lecht truly has something for everyone.
The ski centre is equipped with a snowsports school for all ages, equipment hire, and various activities to enjoy on the slopes. The staff at The Lecht are dedicated to ensuring every visitor has a fantastic experience.
In the winter, ski lifts are operational from 8:30 am, with the last runs usually between 4:00 pm and 4:30 pm. These times may shift slightly due to weather conditions. Heavy snowfall and ice can require the lifts to be manually de-iced, causing minor delays, but the team works hard to keep things running smoothly.
For those needing a place to stay, there are plenty of accommodation options nearby, from hotels and guest houses to self-catering choices.
Roger wishes to extend an invitation to all, whether you're an experienced skier or a complete novice, to come and enjoy what The Lecht has to offer. Exceptional facilities, extraordinary scenery, and a warm welcome await you.
