Even more trails in Scotland! This time at Laggan Wolftrax, one of my favourite trail centres in the country.
Laggan has always met my needs (as a more advanced rider) but it didn't quite hit the mark for people more at the beginner to intermediate level. It never really had a blue trail and the red was on the chunkier, more technical end of the scale. These two factors made a harder place to recommend for a family for instance.
Now though, with the new red and blue trails, I feel that it now ticks the boxes for a good all round destination.
Check out the video to see the variety of trails that Laggan has.

06:17 Hit that on Monday (1-07-24) on the Ragley Marley 29er F/R 2.6/2.4 and had to run supper low rear (Tannus Tubeless insert) to ride over the slabs even then some super hard hits on the rear but it was fun! First run dry then second run it rained making the slab very wet but they still had loads of grip. Only done the blue up round the reads a few times. Just done the Corrieyairich Pass to Fort A then right down the Great Glen Way to Spean bridge and back to laggan Sat/Sun so was pretty knacked for the full Laggan Wolftrax trails 🙃i'll be back.

We go there when we go to World Cup at Ft William each year, usually a group ride - just be aware Reds and Black in the places up in that region are definitely not the same as in Glentress etc, GT are easy by comparison! And I had a wee look at the trails on the other hill and they were so steep - more Golfie/Inners/Dunkeld like - does not come across due to the GoPro effect although in some wider shots you can see the trees sloping away. I like the new trails retaining some optional features too - bit of flow, bit of tech to break it up. Looks more fun that the GT new trails which I rode last week. But the place has something for everyone - definitely worth a long drive! Hit Glencoe Red and Black too if you have time or camp/get a cheap airbnb and do a few days up there
@McTrailRider
@McTrailRider 9 месяцев назад
The new trails definitely help to make the place more accessible for more people, because as you say, the other trails are not as easy as the grading would have you believe. Glen Coe is a great wee place too, although that black trail is outrageously full on🙈

The last time I was at Laggan was dropping my son Scott off with his pal Joe to race the SES a few years ago. Cathro and co were all there that year so it was pretty cool to see. The addition of the blue trail is a real bonus since there was previously nothing there that my wife would have ridden (the green loop really wasn't worth doing) so now there's something for everyone.

We just did Laggen at the weekend there. I’m quite unskilled tbh, and my mates are a lot more skilled than me. I loved the new blue lines, there were right on for my limited ability. The original black / red was fun but a bit technical for me but great for my mates. At least there are options to skip the harder stuff. As you said, something for everyone which is good.

This is a tough question I guess - but what is your favourite area in Scotland to ride? Considering a move up there in the next 10 years or so and I'd love to be able to ride from the door/very short commutes to decent trails. Everything is at least an hour away by car for me at the moment (unless I'm on the gravel bike...)
