Pitfichie Mountain Bike Trails

Pitfichie Mountain Bike Trails can be found on the B993 near Monymusk in Aberdeenshire, combining Forestry and Land Scotland’s graded routes with the Aberdeenshire Trail Association’s adopted natural and downhill trails. The area offers red-grade singletrack, natural technical lines, and several downhill options across open hilltops and wooded slopes.

Macchiato

A technical natural trail running through mixed woodland with narrow singletrack, root webs, rock steps and exposed granite. Suits confident riders who enjoy committed line choice and varied terrain.

White Lady

A flowing natural line with a rolling gradient and open woodland views. Features moderate rock and root sections with a sightline that stays wider than the more technical trails nearby.

Devil’s Staircase

A steeper, more technical natural descent with tighter corners, stepped rock and rough granite sections. Well suited to riders looking for a more demanding enduro-style run.

Phoenix Downhill

A downhill-specific trail with rock features, compressions, berms and rough technical sections. Built for gravity riding at speed, with a sustained descent from top to bottom.

Tomb Steen

A red-graded natural singletrack trail with fresh bench-cut sections, drainage and armouring. A solid progression option before stepping up to Phoenix Downhill.

Badger’s Box

A natural woodland singletrack trail featuring roots, rock patches and uneven surfaces. Often used as a linking or alternative natural line within the Pitfichie network.
