Cairngorm Mountain and the Funicular
0:00 / 0:35
“You're approaching Cairngorm Mountain, where the funicular gets you high above the forest without a mountain hike. In under ten minutes it reaches Ptarmigan, with views down toward Loch Morlich when the cloud allows.”

Plays as you drive up to Cairngorm Mountain in the Parkwolf Cairngorms Tour Guide.
