Nevis Range Mountain Bike Trails

Ben Thompson:

Great trails, great coffee, unique uplift to over 2000ft. Can't be beat.

New trails being built including excellent blue climb which has transformed the network. Giant red has to be the best trail centre descent anywhere and it's gondola accessed.

Liam:

Really disappointed with our visit to Nevis Range. The xc trails need a lot of work to bring them up to standard. 10 under the Ben is never a red with the exception of the Nessie section. Blue Adder downhill has had poor quality repairs leading the run off of the material in the rain causing huge channels for your wheels to drop into. Definitely won't be back to ride again.

Good sized car park Reasonable prices in cafe

This is the Mecca of mountain biking, it really does have a massive range of riding from the World Cup downhill track to graded trails for all abilities. Every time I go I find new trails as there are different options everywhere, including for the brave a few built by the dudes of hazard..... I can't recommend a ride here enough, there is some have to do.

Uplift by gondola Trails everywhere Bike shop Great cafe Loads fir the family to do while you ride Plenty of development of new trails World champs Xc course is great fun but you can't beat the red run down from the gondola.

The gondola is great the tracks are awesome, you need some serious endurance to manage a lot of runs tho! The XC routes aren't quite as exciting tho to be honest

Great location, Great views Gondola to the top for downhill route Facilities are top notch

Although there are blues and greens under construction I'd recommend coming here with some experience under your belt. The World Cup Downhill Track - wow; fast in places with enough rocks to give you a complete work out after just a few runs. It just goes on and on and the more you ride it the better it gets. Comparable to the best in Whistler and the Alps - and what's more you've probably seen the pros riding it. (Yes, you'll pretend you're a pro at the start line). In terms of Wow factor there's little to beat it. Don't expect to do 10 runs if you're of average fitness - I was pretty much dead after 6. The Red Downhill - makes reds elsewhere need regrading to blue perhaps! .. satisfying and plenty of rocks once you're off the seemingly endless boardwalk. Gondola to get back up ... facilities all good ...

Been wanting to tackle this for a while and got round to it this year. We have all watched the vids I think so know exactly what to expect, then you go and ride it. We don't have many gondola assisted downhill courses in the UK and it adds a whole new element. Takes around 15mins to get to the top so you can get plenty of runs in. I entered the No fuss / Hope Technology 6 hour endurance downhill, did 1 practice run and then 14 race runs in the 6 hours, finished 3rd. You need to be prepared for the extreme nature of the course if your doing run after run to get your monies worth .. I did a video of the event that's attached - but if you want vids then watch the best guys in the world do the course at the world cups rather than me :) I didn't do the red, or ride the XC - Fort Bill is about the WC DH track to me not the rest. You dont *need* a DH bike but I'm sure it helps, I rode my Heckler! I did this as event #1 in my "Month of Madness" 5 Big mountain events in 5 weeks. Including MegAvalanche, Mountain of Hell and the MacAvalanche. http://www.pinkbike.com/u/kevduk/blog/2013-Euro-Trip-Month-of-Madness.html Nice big car park, cafe toilets etc - remember your midge repellant!

One of the Best WC DH tracks in the world - so much history!
