    Tips

    April 9, 2025

    Road cycling

    The Bealach Ratagan climb from Shiel Bridge is a short but steep Highland ascent, averaging 9% with punishing ramps hitting 18%. The narrow, winding road climbs sharply with dense forest on one side and breathtaking views over Loch Duich on the other. The tarmac is decent but can be slick in damp conditions, and the hairpins demand careful line choice. Settle into a low gear early—the steepest sections come fast and don’t let up. Cresting the top rewards you with stunning vistas and a true sense of remote Scottish adventure.
