The Lochaber Trail Association (LTA) is a volunteer-led, non-profit organization dedicated to the maintenance, protection, and development of mountain bike trails in the Lochaber area of Scotland (centered around Fort William, the "Outdoor Capital of the UK").Trail Maintenance: They organize "dig days" where volunteers perform essential repairs and upgrades to keep local trails sustainable and rideable year-round.Stewardship & Liaison: The association acts as a formal voice for the mountain biking community, working closely with landowners (such as Forestry and Land Scotland) and stakeholders to legitimize trails and ensure responsible access.Community Building: They aim to foster a positive riding culture in the region, encouraging local riders to get involved in trail care and promoting good practice to minimize conflict with other land users.Scope: Their work covers popular riding areas including Glen Loy, Torlundy and Glen Nevis, focusing on both "hand-built" natural trails and more formal networks.In short, they are the boots-on-the-ground group ensuring that Lochaber’s famous—and often challenging—trail network remains a world-class destination for the local community and visitors alike.
