Even a mountain biker can appreciate this majestic stretch of tarmac road. Glen Etive was one of the film locations during James Bond Skyfall with the infamous Aston Martin.

Mountain biking

No AVOID, AVOID. AVOID. Just NO

Glen Etive road is a bliss 11 miles to a dead-end. AVOID loch Etive, you need a boat. The loch "path" on komoot is non-existent. A hike through bracken, bogs, and boulders. Took 7 hours & had to camp! Final few miles, we followed a deer that used the shoreline. The loch section should be deleted. Incredible evening & morning views but not worth the risk.
