For gravel goodness, nature adventures and small town charm, Chiltern has you covered.
Nestled in the rugged Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park hills, Chiltern’s charming 19th century streets are made for relaxed winter exploring. Bring the bike and explore the network of gravel trails and road routes that wind through the surrounding bushland and quiet country atmosphere.
Gravel Loop de Loop
Loop through the Chiltern countryside on shaded rides through the Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park.
Suitable for year-round riding, the Chiltern – Mt Barambogie Figure 8 tree-lined route is a hidden gem of a ride serving up a prime, compact road surface. Visiting in summer? The Chiltern Loop is ideal. Adventure down fire trails and laneways past abundant wildlife, without ever veering too far from town.
Town to town Gravel
Ride from historic town to town on Chiltern's picturesque point-to-point gravel routes.
Get set for a climbing challenge on the Chiltern-Beechworth route as it winds through the "rolled gold" crushed granite trails of the Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park and pedal to famous wineries on the Chiltern-Rutherglen ride - just make sure it's dry weather for this one.
