What to expect
Edinburgh
We will leave from Edinburgh, Scotlands capital, and drive towards the Trossachs National Park. It will take us around 1.5 hours to reach the beautiful town of Aberfoyle, nestled among the mountains, lochs and forests to the start point of our cycle.
90 minutes
Aberfoyle
Aberfoyle is a small, quaint town in the heart of the Trossachs National Park. It is surrounded by mountains and forests and will be the start of our bicycle ride. One of the Highlands first tourist desitinations in the 1800's, its popularity came from the opening of the railway station which would bring visitors from the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. We will follow in their footsteps by cycling out of town and heading for the great outdoors that surround.
30 minutes
Loch Ard
After leaving Aberfoyle we will reach Loch Ard, a beautiful loch with glassy water and home to lots of wildlife and fantastic views
30 minutes
Trossachs
Our rolling route rises, falls and winds through rare native forests passing by the remote and beautiful Loch Chon. Thee is a chance to visit a small, quiet beach and view the towering mountains.

Stronachlachar
The pier at Stronachlachar is the stopping point for the Sir Walter Scott Steamship that has been active on Loch Katrine in 1899. It is also here that we can stop for a great lunch at the Pier Cafe. (Lunch not included in price)

Loch Katrine

Loch Katrine
Loch Katrine is one of Scotlands vast fresh water lochs. It stretches as far as the eye can see. The route rises and falls above its banks and under the towering peaks of the mountains.
