Follow the Snow Roads
The Snow Roads are slow roads. Take your time to enjoy the views, villages and attractions along the route. Steep hills, ‘blind’ summits and tight bends on the roads mean you’ll need to drive with care and courtesy. On narrow sections please use the passing places to allow others to continue on their way. Warning this route traverses the highest roads in Britain – it’s called the Snow Roads for good reason. Please check the weather forecast and follow any travel warnings. There is an 18 tonne weight restriction on Gairnshiel Bridge Travel the Snow Roads as the scenic way north or south. Link to Royal Deeside, Whisky Trail or the North Coast 500.
