A:
There is a nice cafe at the base of the mountain - you can find out more if you Google Cairngorm Mountain. You can see the mountain and a bit of the tubing are from here. Not sure …

There is a nice cafe at the base of the mountain - you can find out more if you Google Cairngorm Mountain. You can see the mountain and a bit of the tubing are from here. Not sure whether the funicular will be ope by November it the delays seems to have been delayed. There’s lots to do in the area though, including visiting reindeer which I would highly recommend Cairngorm Reindeer, there is also a lovely Loch on the road up to the mountain - Loch Morlich and Rothiemurchus is an estate which has lots of different things to see and do. Hope that helps.
