About Ben Aigan
This forest covers the steep sided slopes of Ben Aigan and provides magnificent views over Speyside and across to Ben Rinnes. A section of the Speyside Way follows a forest road round the west side of the hill.
Ben Aigan also offers three linked mountain bike trails. These can be accessed from the car park and include The Hammer, a red (difficult) route around the summit with big earth features and board walk sections; The Mast Blast, another red route with fast downhill sections and single track switchbacks; and The Bunny, an orange bike park (extreme) route for more experienced riders.
