Midlothian Snowsports Centre Piste Map and Overview
Midlothian Snowsports Centre, also known as Hillend, is Scotland’s largest dry ski slope and a popular training ground for beginners and intermediate skiers. Located just outside Edinburgh, it offers a convenient and accessible option for learning skiing or snowboarding without traveling to the Highlands. The slope is well-maintained with a consistent surface that simulates snow, making it ideal for practicing techniques, taking lessons, or warming up before hitting real snow. Its gentle gradients are particularly suited for families, school groups, and newcomers to winter sports.
While it doesn’t offer traditional mountain skiing, Hillend provides a reliable, all-year-round environment for skill development and recreational skiing. The facility also includes coaching programs, equipment hire, and a friendly atmosphere that encourages progression in a safe setting. Its proximity to Edinburgh makes it a convenient destination for day trips or short training sessions, giving skiers the opportunity to build confidence before venturing to larger resorts in the Highlands or beyond.
