Bookmark and Share

You can bike in Queenstown almost all year round but it's spring, summer and autumn after the alpine snow has melted away when the mountain biking and the downhill biking in particular really kicks off. The 29th of September marked the start of Skyline Queenstown's Gondola assisted bike lift pass, providing direct access to Queenstown Bike Park. The Bike Park has 12 world class mountain biking trails and varying terrain for all abilities. In amongst the pine trees of the Ben Lomond Reserve, Queenstown Bike Park boasts over 30km of tracks and a longest run of 6km. A 450 metre vertical rise via the Skyline Gondola gives riders easy access to arguably New Zealand's best mountain bike park. There are also a huge range of other mountain biking and cross country trails around the Queenstown region as well as heli-biking, wine biking tours, family rides and the new Queenstown Trail.
