エリクト湖周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ4

Excellent track makes for good cycling

Komoot will route around the West shore of Loch Ericht. DO NOT TAKE THIS ROUTE AS IT IS IMPASSABLE! The shores of the Loch are boggy and treacherous....you have been warned!

Loch Ericht is impressive and beautiful to walk along. It is 23 kilometers long and close to Ben Alder and the town of Dalwhinnie. The glacial loch is dammed for hydro power.

This gravel road is commonly used as an approach to riding around Ben Alder or as a part of a journey towards Ardverikie Estate. In good weather you can see the Munros appearing at the end and lefthand side of the Loch.

Also known as 'McCook's Cottage', Ben Alder Cottage is a remote bothy set below Ben Alder and above Loch Ericht. Sleeping up to six people (it's worth taking a tent so you can wild camp nearby if it's full when you arrive) it has a wood-burning stove, although residents must supply their own firewood. This bothy has a colourful history, having been used by ghillies (servents/attendants on shoots), stalkers, fishermen, walkers and poachers over the years. It's also said to be haunted...

We went here by bike from Bridge of Gaur. Doable, only had to hike the last hour through marhses.

Very good tracks to cycle in and out on, I've even seen a road bike here. Its longer than expected but the effort is worth the reward.

Long smooth gravel track, past the big fancy houses and with nice views out to Loch Ericht
