Trail sites and mountain biking parks in Scotland offer a range of graded routes so you can easily select one that suits you or find the right route for your family or group.
At cycling or outdoor centres you can hire a bike, get some tuition and even join one of our mountain biking guide.
From Peebles in the Scottish Borders to Balblair in the north east Highlands, Forestry Commission Scotland manages some great forest tracks and trail centres for you to explore on two wheels. At Cuningar Loop, a woodland park to the east end of Glasgow, kids can get to grips with the basics.
Moray Monster Trails is another Forestry Commission site and it has over 20 km of routes with three moderate trails to choose from, as well as some trickier tracks if you’re up for something harder. Brush up your technique in the skills area before you set off.
Bike parks also cater for the more experienced biker and provide some of the most technical park riding to be found in the UK. At sites such as Glentress, one of the 7stanes mountain biking centres in the south of Scotland, Laggan Wolftrax near Kingussie, Glenlivet and the world famous Nevis Range, you can really test your skills to the limit.
