Mountain Biking is huge in Ballater with so many trails and routes, including the number one Heartbreak Ridge, The Green Mile
and Mastermind. The best website to check out all the routes from Ballater is Trailforks.
If going downhill at speed is not your style there are plenty of more gentle routes, including the forest trails at Cambus O’May, Loch Muick
and along the Deeside Way
(Route 195 of the National Cycle Network) - all bikeable from Ballater.
There are two bike hire places in Ballater - Cycle Highlands
and Bike Station. Between them they have a range of bikes to hire out for the day, including e-bikes (really great fun if you’ve never tried them). They both also have a shop so if you’re missing a part or something’s broken on your bike, just call in. They both have a wealth of experience on where the best places are to cycle – don’t be afraid to ask!
