Biking

Mountain biking is a hazardous sport and the downhill track at Nevis Range is an International level race track with extremely steep and difficult sections. Inexperienced cyclists will find the descent hazardous and severe in places and are likely to be forced to walk several sections.

1. Riders must obey code of practice, signage and instructions from Nevis Range or Forestry staff.
   
   
2. The course may only be used during opening times.
   
3. Riding is only permitted on the approved Downhill, 4-Cross and Witches Trail Cross Country trails. Riding elsewhere on the mountain is prohibited due to environmental and safety issues.
   
   
4. Cycling is only permitted on the approved downhill track and the associated cross-country forest trails. Cycling anywhere else on the mountain is prohibited.
   
   
5. Take care, there may be other users on the track. Treat other riders, walkers and gondola users with consideration. Walk bike to start of track from top station. Forest roads cross the course in 3 places – watch for vehicles.
   
6. If stopping on course, please respect other riders and leave the trail clear. Always allow faster riders to pass.
   
7. The downhill track ends at a sign, at the main forest road immediately before the car park. Expect to meet other users and slower riders here.
   

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE MAY RESULT IN ACCESS BEING REFUSED IN THE FUTURE. NO COMPENSATION OR REFUND WILL BE GIVEN IN THE EVENT OF THIS ACTION.
