Doing a weekend riding from Aberfeldy, day 1 is Ben Lawer area and day 2 is around Dunkeld.

Can anyone give me route recommendations, possibly even gpx files?

You might get a better response if you're clearer about the kind of riding you'll be doing.

I can give lots of good road/gravel recommendations though.

If you look on trailforks all the usual stuff is there.

I'd guide you around, but I tend to walk most of the tracks which others drive miles to ride 🙂

Up to the top on the hermitage side

Do Cairn to Cottage

Do Commit or Cry, 9.9, Bambi's Farts

Head over and do Pink Floyd

Climb back up and do Rake or Ruin

Head over to Newtyle and do whatever you want on that side

Dunkeld is one of the easiest places to navigate

If you want proper hard try slaters by the mast #walkedmostofit

Rake or ruin was great fun and not too hard but still steep in places

Park at the train station as its easy to do both sides from there.

There are loads of trails, trailforks is good at picking out good ones.

Pretty much what BoardinBob said above. It's surprisingly to find your way around at Dunkeld. Here's a Strava of a ride I did earlier in the summer navigating largely using trailforks.

Here's another possible route you could take from a ride I did back in June 🙂
