Cairngorm funicular walks to be considered Councillors are due to consider plans to offer the Cairngorms' Walk @ The Top guided treks on a permanent basis. The walks from the Cairngorm funicular railway's top station on to the Cairn Gorm plateau have been run as a trial since 2010. Before 2010 walking from the top station on to the plateau was banned under environmental rules. Highland Council's planning, environment and development committee is due to discuss the latest proposal.
