Ride Chiltern

COUNTRYSIDE ADVENTURE

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 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 , serene country roads and Rail Trail. Pedal to famous wineries on the Chiltern-Rutherglen ride. Roll on a mix of trail surfaces past bushland and the history-filled Magenta Mine, Cornishtown Hall and Mt Ophir Estate .

BIKE FRIENDLY STAYS

Grab a cabin or campsite at the leafy Lake Anderson Caravan Park , just a 3-minute walk from the main street of town, and soak in the serenity.

After a stay with a historic spin? Cosy up at restored Wark Cottage (a workers cottage from 1895) or The Old Chiltern Bank bed and breakfast. Relax in the 1870 built Lake View House , former home of author Ethel Florence Richardson and enjoy the tranquility of historic Mortimer's Lodge .
