The Lecht

Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom · 10 km of runs, 9 lifts, top 776 m

On the high road between Cockbridge and Tomintoul, in the eastern Cairngorms, The Lecht has been running since the mid-1970s. Short, friendly runs and a snow factory that guarantees cover on the beginner slopes make it a go-to for families and first-timers in Scotland, and a chairlift ride gives non-skiers the views.
