This ribbon of small communities along the shores of Loch Leven and Loch Linnhe. This popular holiday destination stretches for a few miles either side of the Ballachulish Bridge. The major roads that dominate the area are not ideal for cycling but there are some off-road routes. All three villages are very attractive and well served with large hotels, smaller guest houses, B&Bs and self catering accommodation. There are leisure facilities and a golf course at two of the larger hotels. There is no railway nearby but bus services link with Glagow, Oban and Fort William. Also nearby is the Corran ferry that crosses Loch Linnhe at the Southern end of the Great Glen linking to Ardgour, Strontian and the Ardnamurchan penninsula.
If you are planning a cycle trip heading north up the Great Glen, we can recommend Glencoe as a great place to start, you can avoid the busy A82 main road by combining two of our route descriptions that use quiet back roads. Go right around Loch Leven via Kinlochleven to Onich, then cross the Corran Ferry (free for pedestrians and cyclists) before cycling up the shores of Loch Linnhe to Fort William (either direct via Treslaig Ferry or continue right round Loch Eil).
