Embark on a difficult road cycling adventure with the Loch Tay, Ben Lawers & Glen Lyon loop from Kenmore. This route spans 46.7 miles (75.2 km) and challenges you with 3013 feet (918 metres) of elevation gain, taking about 3 hours and 38 minutes to complete. You will cycle through the Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve, experiencing an Alpine-style mountainside. Expect panoramic vistas across Loch Tay and the majestic Ben Lawers mountain ridge, alongside the rugged beauty of Glen Lyon. Don't miss the notable Falls of Dochart in Killin as a highlight along the way.
This hard road ride requires very good fitness due to its substantial climbs and descents. Parking is generally available in Kenmore, making it a convenient starting point for your journey. Be aware that some sections, particularly on descents, have been described as gravelly in places, so exercise care while riding. Plan your visit to allow ample time to enjoy the varied landscapes and prepare for a demanding but rewarding experience.
