Beautiful views out over Loch Tay, and much quieter and better to cycle than the main road to the North of the Loch. The only disadvantage is that it involves a bit more ascent because there are more ups and downs.

Stunning route with some nice ascents and descents! Some fabulous new houses have been built along the road with interesting architecture and features.

Rode this as part of my trip from Killin to Kirkmichael and even though I was fully loaded with panniers and bike bags it wasn't too bad with a nice mix of ascents and descents plus stunning views!

Also nice and quiet with little in the way of vehicle traffic as they all stay on the busier north road. Highly recommend this route for touring or just as a nice way of getting between Kenmore and Killin

Embark on a challenging touring bicycle adventure with the Loch Tay loop from Killin, a difficult route spanning 34.2 miles (55.1 km). You will climb a significant 1943 feet (592 metres) over approximately 3 hours and 28 minutes, offering a rewarding experience for cyclists with very good fitness. As you pedal, you'll be treated to consistently stunning Scottish Highland scenery, with beautiful views across Loch Tay framed by the impressive Tarmachan and Lawers ranges, especially from the quieter South Loch Tay Road. This journey promises a true test of endurance amidst breathtaking natural beauty.

Killin serves as an excellent starting point for your ride, providing convenient access to the route and necessary amenities. Be prepared for varying road surfaces, as some of the quieter tracks you encounter might not be perfectly smooth. This loop is rated as difficult due to the substantial elevation changes, particularly along the south shore, so plan your visit when you are ready for a demanding ride. Always check local conditions before you set out, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.

This route takes you through the heart of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, an area renowned for its dramatic landscapes. A highlight not to be missed is the dramatic Falls of Dochart in Killin, where the water cascades powerfully around the ancient burial grounds of the Islands of Inchbuie. The challenging nature of the ride, combined with the spectacular views and historical landmarks, makes this loop a notable and memorable touring cycling experience in the region.
