Although there has been some substantial felling here in recent years, the Nevis Forest offers some fantastic challenges and epic views as you course your way into Fort William.

Steep singletrack, epically fast doubletrack, steppy thrutchyness; it's all here.

Mountain biking

Beautiful en sometimes technical mountainbike path through what used to be all forrest, but is now still a beautiful pass over the mountains with loads of beautiful views along the way. Extra special is het view off Ben Nevis when heading in the direction of Fort William. Part of the West Highland Way, so be aware of hikers, but you might wanna use your brakes here more often anyway ;)

Mountain biking

Amazing section of the west highland way. Some singletrack here so a lot more technical than one other bits of the WHW either side of this section but it's a huge amount of fun and a really beautiful bit of riding.
