    Road cycling

    The Loch Achtriochtan climb via Old Glencoe Road is a challenging and picturesque ascent, averaging 7% with steeper sections pushing up to 15%. The narrow, winding road climbs steadily through the dramatic landscape of Glencoe. The road surface is generally good, though damp patches and loose gravel can be tricky. The true experience is feeling dwarfed by the surrounding giants like the Three Sisters. Be prepared for exposure to strong winds funnelling through the glen. Reaching the top, you’re rewarded with stunning views over Loch Achtriochtan and surrounding peaks.
