Fully accessible to wheelchair users. Bottom and Top Stations have lift access to all facilities.

Zvláštnosti
The CairnGorm Funicular is just under 2km in length, the majority is carried on a concrete viaduct, but the top 350m is in a tunnel. The haul rope is complimented by a lower tension rope and a short section of track between the bottom and middle station has a shallow reverse gradient.

The middle station is not at the passing loop, thus the Funicular must stop twice if both the up car and down car are picking up or dropping off passengers. This increases journey time from 3.5min (full speed) to around 7 to 8minutes.

Incorporated in the Top Station is the Ptarmigan Restaurant, Mountain viewing terrace, Mountain Exhibition and Shop.

The wide 2m track gauge is due to the high winds that often affect CairnGorm Mountain. The Funicular is permitted to operate for uplifting skiers in wind speeds up to 70mph (112km/h). It can be used for evacuation in higher wind speeds at reduced line speed.

The highest wind speed recorded at the Tunnel Mouth since opening is 176mph (284km/h).

The CairnGorm Funicular made it's inaugural journey on 23rd December 2001, 40 years to the day that the White Lady Chairlift (which the Funicular replaced) was inaugurated. The first full day of public operation was Christmas Day 2001.

The Funicular was a direct replacement for the White Lady and Carpark Chairlifts (1960s 2-CLD side facing GMD Mueller chairs).

Outwith the ski season the Funicular operates in a 'closed system' and the funicular can not be used to access the Summit Plateau, however walkers and climbers who make their own way up the mountain may take the Funicular down.

During the ski season the funicular provides access to the high level nursery slopes at the top of the ski area as well as uplift for the mid and lower slopes.

The total cost of installation was £19.5million but around 1/3rd of the cost went on environmental impact mitigation. In some cases tower founds had to be dug by hand to avoid damage to sensitive peat bogs which are home to rare plants. Rocks with rare lichens and mosses had to be photographed, numbered, carefully stored and the returned to the same location they were removed from after construction!
