Heights of Kinlochleven™
Summary
Kinlochleven and the surrounding mountains are home to some of the most rewarding back country and enduro mountain biking in Scotland – and in the same way that good things often come to those who wait, the big downs and wide smiles come only after you’ve scaled the Heights of Kinlochleven™.
The riding around Kinochleven divides opinion: some love it, some hate it. Why? Because the descents are tough enough to make the fainthearted wince. Yes, the riding falls squarely into the more demanding end of the spectrum but if you can handle big mountain ascents and the occasional sustained hike-a-bike knowing you will earn the country’s most exciting technical enduro-style descents, Heights of Kinlochleven™ is a trip that will leave you with a story to share forever.
The Trip
With sea level as your starting point…you know what’s coming next…each day begins with a challenging climb to gain some incredible views deep into the Mamore mountain range and out to sea. In this landscape of giants we’re nothing but insignificant dots, and if your idea of the perfect mountain biking adventure involves forgetting the daily grind and getting lost in the most immersive riding experience ever, then you’re in the right place.
On our longer trips we mix things up with a mini-adventure WITHIN the BIG adventure: we hop on a private fast boat to access Scotland’s remotest ride, and spend a night on Scotland’s last great wilderness – The Rough Bounds.
