MOUNTAIN BIKING

Bomb down the classic hand-carved singletracks of Mount Beauty's Big Hill Mountain Bike Park, or whip along the flowy curves of Falls Creek. This region lives and breathes mountain biking. Question is, can you handle it?

BIG HILL MTB PARK

Big Hill Mountain Bike Park is a pioneer of Australian mountain biking, with classic hand-built singletracks carved into the 1,000m mountainside for over three decades. Famed for its steep technical downhill trails, Big Hill provides the adrenaline rush hardcore mountain bikers craves. Even so, its beginner and intermediate cross-country trails are equally enjoyable. The park is cared for by the passionate volunteers of the Team Mount Beauty bike club who build and maintain 50km-plus trail network. This is grass-roots mountain biking at its best. Open all year, everyone is welcome to use the trails and the club is always grateful for any donations toward its trail maintenance costs.

FALLS CREEK MTB PARK

Falls Creek Mountain Bike Park has over 42km of gravity and flow trails dropping from a lofty 1,780m. Built by World Trail, these alpine trails run the full gamut of the resort, from the exposed rocky outcrops of the summit to the lush sub-alpine forest at the end of Flowtown. That's a 10km ride with a 535m drop, making it Victoria's longest unbroken gravity descent. Use the climbing trail or shuttle with Blue Dirt Mountain Biking, which operates every weekend of the mountain bike season. Falls Creek is e-bike friendly and has a range of trails suitable for beginner to advanced.
