Cairngorm's Snow Season
Cairngorm is in Scotland’s eastern Highlands, and its Cairn Gorm summit reaches 1,245 metres. Its exposed setting has a cool, wet maritime climate shaped by Atlantic weather. When moist air rises over the mountains, it cools, and rain turns to snow, especially near the summit.
The heaviest falls build deep drifts on upper slopes, where snow settles and lasts through cold spells. It tends to arrive in autumn and winter, then melt back during spring, though snowfields may linger into summer. The long season feels windy and changeable.
