TOUR 2 : Loch Ness and Bealach Na Ba
Tour 2 is currently only available on certain dates between May to August, so for more information please email us. This tour allows cyclists to have the opportunity to climb the UK's greatest climb (cycling uphill review) - Bealach na Ba. Towering above any comparative climb in the UK, the relentless and unforgiving Beallach Na Ba climb is not only challenging but equally the most dramatic in terms of length, scenery and remoteness.
The 26 mile (42 km) route starts at the foot of the mountains of the Applecross peninsula on the West Coast of Scotland. The climb takes the breath away of any cyclist both physically and emotionally. Starting from near sea-level the assent rises 2,054ft (626 metres) in 6 miles (9 km) of uphill, reaching 20% at its steepest gradient..

The road heads into the clouds on Alpine hairpin bends, however the views from the summit of the pass, far outweigh the pain sustained during the assent as the vista opens over the west coast and Isle of Skye. Once you have your breath back, there is a steep, dramatic decent back to sea level, and into the village of Applecross. From Applecross you retrace your tracks, attacking the Bealach again however from the west.
