Nevis Red Trail

View 2012 Track Closures

Starting at 643m at the base of the Quad chair (for those of you that ski or board here) the new trail winds its way across Aonach Mor's awesome mountainscape. The trail was built in 2009 but the final section, described as 'swoopy' was only completed early in 2010. Ride it and let us know what you think.
