Moray Monster Trails

Jump to section

Fantastic single-track mountain bike routes for beginners through to experts

Whether you’re new to off-road mountain biking or an expert rider looking for big thrills, there’s a Monster Trail that’s just right for you. Head to Winding Walks for extreme freeriding and the red-grade Fochabers Ring. Start at Ordiequish for slightly easier blue routes.

The extreme features of the Fochabers Freeride were built almost entirely by volunteers and it’s a wild and scary ride! Take the fun and full-on cross-country Fochabers Ring to get you there – or just enjoy the red trail.
Alternatively, choose to start the Monster Trails at Ordiequish if you’re looking for some exciting blue routes. Don’t assume this is just an easy ride - fun beckons at every turn.

You can find the most up to date information about the trails (including route map) on the panels in the car park. Take a photo of the panel with your mobile before you set off and use this for the routes you choose.
