Cycle to Loch Ness from Inverness is a must-do ride for many visitors to the Scottish Highlands. The quieter south side of the loch follows peaceful country roads, offering a straightforward, easy-to-navigate route that’s ideal for a relaxed day on the bike. There’s also flexibility to extend your distance if you’re feeling strong and want to add a few more miles. While much of the route is now virtually traffic-free, sections use very quiet rural roads rather than dedicated cycle paths, giving it a wonderfully scenic and authentic feel.
