Map of Mountain Bike Areas

Lochs of Affric - BGA1

Explore Glen Affric and Strathglass on some of the drovers routes and forest roads. Starting in the conservation village of Tomich we cycle into Glen Affric along the old drovers route to the isles. The journey around the Affric Lochs, takes us into some remote Highland countryside. We learn about Affric Lodge, Strawberry Cottage and the bothies used by crofters, drovers and travellers. We talk about the geology and history of the area, whilst enjoying the rarity of peace and quiet.

Meallan – BGA2

The circuit of Am Meallan and North Affric presents a mix of double & single-track highland style. The climb from wild Gleann nam Fiadh and burn crossing is soon left to memory on the descent back into the glen. Continuing on the north side of Loch Affric we retain the theme of highland style single track before turning back for home at Athnamulloch

Smugglers Passes – BCG1

Our mountain bike journey takes us through ancient Caledonian pine forests under the shadow of the Cairngorm Mountains. We ride over 2 low level passes once used by smugglers and highwaymen and visit the waters of the emerald loch.  The environment provides the perfect habitat for such rarities as the osprey, capercailie and cross bill so eyes and ears need to be alert. Time allowing we additionally visit the serene waters of Loch Garten.

Cairngorm Singletrack– BCG2

From the highland village of Tomintoul we start the day exploring the ancient routes of the crofters to take us through the Cairngorms and the forest of Abernethy. As the trail gets trickier the scenery does too. Following the Ryvoan pass and the Green Loch we discover the single tracks of Rothiemurchas and Glen Feshie before our journey end at Kingussie.

Glen Slug – BSK1

The Glen Sligachan circular route is a classic cross-country epic that slides between the red and black Cuillin mountains. Testing on both rider and machine the rock strewn route and challenging pass set us up nicely for a Skye Ale back at the Sligachan Hotel.

Trail Centres – BTC1

The Highlands of Scotland boasts some of the finest purpose built mountain bike trails in the world. Flowing single track, north shore, rock gardens, drops, bumps, lumps and jumps, there is something here for everybody and all backed up with fantastic facilities and the obligatory mountain biker's café. With locations on the west coast, east coast and in the middle, each centre has a different feel. Test yourself on the same routes as the world champions at Fort William's Witches Trail; try the slabs at Laggan Wolftrax; the flowing single track at Learnie Red Rocks (just north of Inverness) or the recently opened Highland Wildcat Trails at Golspie with the longest downhill in the country. Let us tailor make your trip for you.
