Basecamp Mountain Bike Hire

Mountain Bike Trails
Highland Perthshire has some of the best natural mountain bike trails in the UK. A half-mile ride up a quiet lane from The Firs connects you directly with a network of more than 50 miles of paths, tracks and trails taking you along rivers, through forests and into the remote glens of the Cairngorms National Park.

Glen Tilt on Atholl Estates is one of the most impressive glens you will see. You can cycle as far as you wish - up beside the River Tilt to the beech avenue at Gilbert's Bridge (4 miles), on to Marble Lodge or Forest Lodge (8 miles), or a full day's hard ride through to Royal Deeside. Only estate vehicles can use this route, so it is virtually traffic-free.

For more relaxed cycling, our mountain bikes are well suited to the quiet lanes around the village, and there are some low level trails behind Blair Castle and through the forests to Bruar that are ideal for the less energetic.

Munro-Bagging
We have a regular stream of 'Munro-baggers' and other more casual mountaineers and hill-walkers hiring our bikes to cover the long walk into the three peaks of the Beinn a Ghlo Massif, as well as Ben Dearg and Carn a Chlamain.

Mountain Bike Hire Prices And Information

All of our bikes are from the quality Trek brand and suitable for both off-road and on-road leisure and touring, and they are available in a wide range of sizes. We also offer more comfortable hybrid bikes for gentler usage. Most bikes have front suspension for added rider comfort.

If mountain bikes are new to you, don't worry; we're show you the ropes and advise on routes. A half-day hire is a good way to start.
