Road cycling
The water of the River Avon is among the clearest in the Scottish Highlands and, like the Spey River, produces whisky with a less pronounced peat flavor.
In beautiful Glen Avon, you'll have little to complain about when it comes to the condition of the gravel roads; they're generally in perfect condition. A Scottish "Strade Bianche." Higher up in the glen, you'll encounter more rugged paths that are unsuitable for road bikes. In this glen, you'll be particularly affected by the sometimes gale-force winds that can whip through the valley.
