FORT WILLIAM

-

The UK’s only UCI World Cup venue, Fort Bill’s Nevis Range boasts three race courses (DH, XC and 4X), all open to anyone to ride. There are also several XC trails, blue descents and a skills loop, plus the Witch’s Trails network, which is suitable for all the family. If you want big thrills, jump on the gondola to tackle Top Chief, 543m of gravity-fed fun starting with a fast boardwalk section, or take on the ultimate challenge – the World Cup downhill track! Further down the hill there are a couple of fun black sections, Cackle and Black Crane. A new gondola-accessed blue run, Blue Doon, opened last autumn.

Blue Doon 7.8km

One of the longest blues in the UK, this intermedia­televel flow trail opens up Aonach Mor to all riders.

Blue Adder 3.4km

This blue descent has a fast top section and 80m of bermed boardwalk.

Vo o d o o 3.5km

The old Cats Eyes green trail has been upgraded, with built-up berms for maximum flow and fun.

Wild Goat 640m

The only way to finish a day’s riding at Nevis Range! Fast, bermy and the perfect end to a rough lap down Top Chief. There’s also a side option to ride the four-cross track used for the 4X Pro Tour.

The Witch’s World Champs 8.5km

Originally built for the 2007 XC World Champs, with a long, steep climb and descent.

10 Under The Ben 10km

A mix of singletrac­k and forest roads. Watch out for ‘Nessie’, a black descent.

Top Chief 5.5km

Accessed via the gondola and dropping 543m, this testing track has berms, large rock-rollers, steps and drop-offs.

World Cup DH 2.8km

Britain’s only World Cup track, with big rocks and trail features.
