Overall Rating
Excellent
Pleasantly surprised that the most disabled friendly facility in our trip to Aviemore turned out to be 3,500ft up the Cairngorm! The funicular is thoroughly recommended for able bodied and wheel chair users as a great day out. Fantastic exhibition, great cafes, stunning views, and highly accessible facility.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Accessible entrance could be better signposted for main building, however furnicular access in particular was all perfect, well signposted, and easy to use. Staff very helpful, lifts between all the floors and easy access onto the furnicular carriage.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
Plenty of car parking, but make sure you park towards the right hand side of the building to access through the disability Scotland Ski centre entrance to avoid the steep incline to the main entrance.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
Toilets clean tidy, grab rails and plenty of space to manoeuvre with carer and wheel chair.
Staff
Excellent
Helpful and friendly throughout.
Additional Information
We were worried it might be a challenge going on the furnicular with a wheel chair user. However as advertised it was indeed fully accessible. Couldn’t fault a thing.
