Mountain bike tours: Cairngorms Adventure Tour
"Our cycling holiday in the
Highlands was excellent. Euan is a great guide – very informative and professional. We would recommend Highlands and Islands Adventures to anyone looking for a great mountain biking holiday."

The Cairngorms National Park boasts everything you could want from an outdoor adventure tour in Scotland. Rolling, heather-clad hills; ancient glens; secluded lochs; abundant wildlife; great local food and drink; and fantastic mountain biking trails. This is the UK’s largest national park and hides a wealth of diverse ecosystems and landscapes, which we’ll share with you during this week-long adventure tour in one of the most unspoilt and naturally beautiful areas of the Scottish Highlands.
