Mountain biking in Scotland at its best, Torridon and Skye

This magnificent mountain biking experience in Scotland should be on every mountain bike enthusiast’s bucket list, and comes on recommendation from Scotland’s own trials star Danny MacAskill, who rode with us in Torridon and Skye in 2010 (watch the video) and listed this tour as his ‘Must-do Trip’.

Danny says of the jagged peaks that pierce the skyline in this part of Scotland’s west coast:

“They’re like mini-Alps, with a really bare, rugged, lunar-like landscape full of amazing mountain biking trails.”

If the best mountain biking in Scotland is on your bucket list for 2013, join us on one of our three scheduled mountain bike tours in Torridon and Skye next year and find out what all the fuss is about!
