Visitor Reviews of The Lecht

Niall McPherson from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

The Lecht may be smaller and lower than Glenshee or Cairngorm but it is sheltered, north facing and has the best snow making/grooming facilites in scotland. This means that it is often open when the bigger resorts are closed. The pistes are not that long but suit all abilites and the simple layout of the resort means children can be left to roam free with out geting lost.
Midweek you will have the pistes and lifts to yourself but on a good weekend the secret (to weekend skiing anywhere) is to have your skis on by 9.
There is also a brand new base station including cafe bar and ski hire system which means that you can have a pint while you wait.
All in all this is well run resort perfect for learning any time and on a good day is as gud as any where.
