Witch's Trails

XC Championships

The Witch's Trail, built for the 2003 World Cup, and the extensive forest tracks through the Leanachan Forest offer a slightly slower pace than the Fort William Downhill track; but are testing never the less. The relatively short Witch's Trail is complemented with 35km of gentler tracks through the forest. The Nevis Range car park makes a suitable starting point for both sets of trails. Extensive work has been done to the trail network prior to the 2007 World Championships.
