Fort William

After all, the UCI (International cycling union) has chosen Fort William to host the 2007 World Championships - why not follow in the footsteps of the best?

Cycle out from Fort William to the most westerly mainland point of the British Isles.

Fort William offers the perfect base with good restaurants, nightlife and shops, along with award winning bike shops with years of experience. With exciting single track trails, world class downhill, miles of gentle forest routes, flat (yes flat!) canal paths, an ambundance of wilderness routes to discover and quiet Highland roads, the area is perfect for all types of mountain bike and cycling holidays.

Lochaber's fame for world-class downhill riding is undoubtedly linked to the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup which Nevis Range (2.82 km with a vertical descent of 550m), with it's gondola that takes you (and your bike!) to the start of the downhill track at 2,150ft, has been hosting for the past 10 years. Glencoe, Fort William & Lochaber in the Scottish Highlands is the best place for everyone to experience the outdoors, from summit to sea.
