Visitors are transferred from the Base Station up to the Ptarmigan Top within 10 minutes. Speed flyers have the opportunity to use the funicular, too.
This is a great advantage, since they save energy from carrying their heavy equipment. The top lift is at 1080 m/3543 ft and the bottom lift is at 550 m/1804 ft. There is a vertical drop of about 530 m/1738 ft. Bear in mind that the weather conditions are completely unpredictable in Scotland.
