TicketsOn-line tickets for The Worlds are selling well as we get closer to the event.

As well as saving money, pre-booked tickets mean that gondola access is assured. There is a limit to the number of tickets with gondola access that can be sold, especially on Sunday 9 September for the Downhill finals.

Bike route to the Worlds will be readyFor many years, a cycleway between Fort William and Torlundy (and then the World Cup Village) has been a dream – but in September it will be a reality. The A82 main road out of Fort William is not very bike friendly so the magnificent new cycleway, courtesy of the Scottish Executive, will mean that cycling to the Worlds Village is now a safe, attractive option.Party time!The social side of the Worlds is coming together with a full programme of entertainment being provided under the banner of various organisations.
