A beautiful stretch of gravelly mountain paths that are great on any kind of offroad-oriented bike like MTB and gravel bikes. The climb is gradually up from Kinlochleven and you'll be rewarded (on not too cloudy days) with a unique view upon Ben Nevis once you're up. A beautiful and also fun ride trough the mountains!

Great path from Kinlochleven to Fort William (or the other way round). Doable gradient where you might expect more since it's a mountain pass after all. Good ridable most of the times. Little crowded with hikers as part of the West Highland Way, so maybe don't go for that Strava KOM here ;)

Awesome section of MTB trail with stunning views. This section is quite popular so can be busier with walkers and cyclists than many other areas but its beautiful and a great section of trail.
