Etape Loch Ness
The Etape Loch Ness is a closed-road 106km route, offering 900 m of ascent, that starts along the riverside at Bught Park.
The route leaves Inverness and follows the A82 West through Drumnadrochit and Invermoriston before crossing the iconic Caledonian Canal to Fort Augustus.
The route then starts its return journey to Inverness via South Loch Ness on the B862/B852.
