Looking for an adventure into some of Scotland’s biggest mountains and the wild, remote countryside of the Cairngorms? Big Mountain Adventures runs guided, location‑specific bike tours from Inchmarlo that push into the heart of the range — from the cliffs of Beinn a’ Bhuird to the plateaus and tors of Beinn Avon — and offer routes onto iconic munros such as Ben Macdui and Mount Keen.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE MUNROS

Ride to Iconic Summits

Pick from routes that take you toward Ben Macdui (the UK’s second‑highest summit), Mount Keen, or around Loch Muick and up Lochnagar — all core objectives for riders aiming to ‘bag’ a munro on two wheels.

THE TERRAIN

Cliffs, Plateaus and Volcanic Tors

Expect a mix of big cliffs and vast high plateaus — the tour descriptions call out the huge cliffs of Beinn a’ Bhuird and the rolling plateaus and volcanic tors of Beinn Avon as part of the riding terrain.

THE FORMAT

Guided, Location‑Tailored Sessions

Each ride is guided and tailored to the chosen location; participants choose from three available locations for an intro tour session so the route and focus are set to match the selected mountain area.
