Description

Laggan Wolftrax mountain bike trails are in Strathmashie Forest, in the Scottish Highlands. Laggan has green, blue, red, black, and orange graded trails and a skills area. There is also a Forest Visitors Centre including a cafe, toilets, showers, and an office. It is renowned for its distinctive narrow, tight, heavily rock armoured, natural feeling, technical slab-laden trails but has lots for everyone

Wolf Cub - Green

  • The 4.5km Green trail is a tree-lined scenic route. Focused on novices and young children it runs between the Laggan Wolftrax hub and the community-owned Gorstean car park. It is adaptive bikes firendly.
  • A new blue trail section called Blaeberry Flapjack in planned for 2024, which will connect the new blue and green trails. This section of trail will help less experienced riders to gain the necessary skills to progress in the sport and further develop their cycling skills.

Blue

  • In October 2023 a new 3km blue opened. CRC built the focus is a new intermediate blue grade descent that captures the technical rocky character that the trail centre is known for. So, less time on the fire-road going up with a new climb and proper rock roll slabs on the way down. New section names are Slaba-Dabba-Doo, Blaeberry Flapjack and Give & Take.

The Red

    • The 13.4km Red graded trail starts just past the Bike Park. It is made up of two sections, the Upper Red Route and the Lower Red Trail. 
    • The Upper Red Route section shares the climb with the Black trail and then adds its own fast descent with optional features. The Lower Red trail section has a multitude of features. It is on narrow black shale with embedded rock obstacles, drop-offs, rock causeways, a boardwalk, and lots of tough little technical climbs. It is renowned for features such as the challenging Air’s Rock, a slab similar to 'The Slab' at Dalbeattie, and the natural rock features of the Bhadain Boulder Field.
    • As part of the CRC build in October 23 there is also a new red trail descent (with some black options), plus the bonus of several sweet trail technical features all over the place.

The Black

  • The black route is 6.4km of tight, technical, single-track with drop-offs, boulder fields, rock steps, and rock slabs. It's built for the rider that is ready to commit! Renowned features include the "2 Ton Drop" and the "Back, Sack and Crack Attack" (a  triple rock slab feature). There is also the Devil’s Chessboard, a 40-meter rock slab staircase with 24 different levels. NB This trail is actually much longer as it includes at least half the Red.

The Bike Park (Orange)

  • The Bike Park has 3.6km of Orange graded trail. The track is wide with a sealed surface featuring big berms, tabletops, and gap jumps. Novices can still ride it as it is all rollable. It is built with progression in mind up from the novice to the advanced rider. The lower section of the Orange was rebuilt and refreshed in 2022.

Skills Area

  • Built in 2022 there is a skills area just opposite the cafe and the centre.

Enduro

  • Laggan host many enduro and xc events with its host of Enduro trails.

I use this trail regularly and it's always entertaining. I recently took 3 friends from Leeds and they all said it was the most fun they had had on a bike. The fire road climb isn't too long--about 10 minutes to the top of the orange, another 5 mins. to the top of the lower red or the gentle singletrack climb to the upper red and black. There are a couple of steep brown trails (used in the Scottish Enduro series) on the hillside opposite if you fancy something different. Worth a trip. You won't be disappointed.

What do you like?

The upper and lower reds are superb, with a good variety of terrain and technical features. Very technical black. Fast and flowing orange. Spectacular views. Good opportunities for skills practice. Excellent new cafe, showers and toilets are now open.

What could be improved?

I can't think of any although the addition of a blue trail would give it wider appeal.

Would you recommend?

*Yes*

Wolftrax is Awesome

Had a weekend here and loved it, if you do a gondola day at Fort Bill and then want a trail day tehn dont do the witches trail come here! Well built and good variety, views of epicness - did I mentioned the views? I love the highlands, and the natural stuff but I'd be happy with a day here anytime, any weather. Do go exploring the natural stuff on the opposite hill if you like it steep :)

What do you like?

Views Views Views! Line choice, and secret stuff on the other side

What could be improved?

Its 6 hours from my house!

Awesome and Gnarly

We had a great afternoon here with the weather in our favour. Thanks to the easy hill gradient we quickly racked up 30km which covered all the main trails and some of them two or three times. The black is very much for the skilled biker and some of the features there would merit an inspection before riding for the less competent or confident. We had to push round some of the obstacles. However this prepared us well for the red which is perhaps a little more technical than most red graded tracks. The downhill was brilliant and flowing. The blue graded bike park was good, with some massive berms that allowed you to commit to them with the brakes off. All the routes shared the same climb which became a little repetitive but it was handy having everything in the same place for when the bikes needed running repairs (rear wheel rebuild)

What do you like?

Will stretch your skills options for all abilities Car Park in easy reach for bike repairs

What could be improved?

climb a little repetitive

Laggan - remote and thrilling - come prepared

What do you like?

- Technical challenge. The red route is a hard red - rock gardens galore and the lower red section feels like a natural trail (good bonus). I love the switch back flow of the second section of the upper red but others I know think this goes on a bit long - also the rocks to protect the side of the trail can be rather unnerving (don't want to land on one!) - LOVE the freeride orange at the end, awesome berms and table tops - The black is meant to be superb - one of the most techy blacks around, not my thing though! -Climbs are not too harsh so it is easy to repeat loops/fav sections. - Laggan is remote (by trail centre standards anyway) which means your pretty much guaranteed a quiet day on the trails. - Great little food van in the summer months (venison burger anyone?) check the FC website though before going to see if it open.

What could be improved?

- Shame there is no bike shop these days

*Yes*

Probably the most full on Red and Black graded trails you'll find anywhere

What do you like?

Lower Red, Black Upper Red descent rewards those willing to actually put excercise in to the descent rather than take the free thrills.

What could be improved?

Green trail is in wrong place and overlooked, although no tech can get some serious speed up and worth using for a warm up or single track hill climb training Upper Red could do with the corners being bermed. Facilities at present are a basic toilet and shower block, however new café centre has been approved for development
