The winter snowfall is heavy, and winds are higher than normally encountered in mountain ranges on the exposed and extensive plateau. Mountaineering, rock- and snow-climbing, skiing, deer hunting, grouse shooting, and angling are popular. Large herds of red deer are found in the hills, as are Britain's only herd of reindeer. The Ptarmigan restaurant near the summit of Cairn Gorm is Britain's highest restaurant.
