From Strathyre the Way climbs through the forest with good views across the valley to Beinn an t-Sidhean. After a long descent, walkers rejoin the cycleway at Kingshouse, now heading north-east towards Loch Earn.

The cycleway then climbs steeply before entering Glen Ogle, passing high above the village of Lochearnhead. On its way to the head of the glen, it goes over the magnificent Glenogle Viaduct, pictured above.

After the lovely Lochan Lairig Cheile, there's another route choice: either go ahead on Cycle Route 7 to reach Killin by the Falls of Dochart, or turn right up the forest road to bypass Killin. This road reaches a communications mast at 400 m with fine views, and provides a shortcut into the next section.
