Mountain Biking Coast to Coast across Scotland in 8 days



Our Scotland coast to coast mountain biking itinerary is an absolute epic and, without a doubt, one of our favourite biking trips in Scotland.

It features 7 days of superb riding from Aberdeen in the east to Ardnamurchan in the west. Our pioneering route covers 400km and over 4000m of ascent and descent. It is 90%+ off-road and we have made it our mission not just to get from a to b, but to ride the best trails along the way.

The mountain bike trails range from flowing singletrack to rocky and challenging mountain passes to mellow forest fire-road. This is a truly superb multi-day mountain bike ride offering world class riding through some of the most spectacular scenery in the Scottish Highlands.

We have invested in finding the best accommodation and food partners for the trip based upon our detailed knowledge and experience of the region.

Our mtb guides are from the Highlands and know the trails inside out. Riding with them, you can sure of discovering the best riding.

Day One – City of Aberdeen to Dinnet

Day Two – Dinnet to Tomintoul via Glen Builg

Day Three – Through the Cairngorms

Day Four – To Fort Augustus over the Corrieyarick Pass

This is the route's highest point at 775m.

Day Five – Fort Augustus to Fort William

Day Six – Fort William to Strontian

Day Seven – Strontian to Ardnamurchan Point

One of the best singletrack sections of the route. Celebratory dinner and drinks in Strontian!

Day Eight – Return to Inverness
