Trails

- Home of Europe's longest Flow Country Trail — a 15 km gravelled flow descent that starts mellow and gets steeper and more demanding in its lower part. [1][2]

- Vertical drop
- 910 m (2,100 m mountain station to valley) [1]
- Longest descent
- ~15 km (the Flow Country Trail itself), max gradient 8% [1]
Features & suitability
- Family friendliness

- Beginner-friendliness
- Beginner-friendly start, but the full 15 km is long — not ideal for first-timers due to length and a steeper lower section [6]
- Skills area
- Yes (no belt) — practice "Bike Parcours" with pump track at the valley station; no belt/conveyor reported [2]
- Standout features
- Europe's longest flow trail; rollers, banked turns, tight bends; direct links to the Nock Lake Trails in two of four sections [1]
Practical
- Bike shop / repair
- Bike rental and bike service at the valley station [1]
- Bike wash
