Cycling day trip from Inverness to Fort William

Get ready for an epic ride from the scenic city of Inverness to the charming town of Fort William. This route takes you on a 118-kilometer journey through some breathtaking landscapes. Starting from Inverness, known as the cultural capital of the Scottish Highlands, you'll be surrounded by historic architecture and the serene beauty of the River Ness.

The ride will have you pedaling through diverse terrains including bits of gravel and plenty of quiet roads, offering a nice mix of challenge and tranquility. Along the way, you'll be gaining and losing over 1,650 meters in elevation, so get ready for a few climbs! But don’t worry, the views are absolutely worth it, especially when you hit the maximum elevation of 386 meters—where the vistas will leave you speechless.

As you cycle, make sure to enjoy the serenade of Highland wildlife and maybe even sneak a peek at the mystical Loch Ness. Finally, your ride concludes in Fort William, dubbed the 'Outdoor Capital of the UK' and a hotspot for adventure enthusiasts. Here, you can relax and soak in the spectacular sights of nearby Ben Nevis, the tallest mountain in the UK. Happy pedaling!
