Indigo Epic MTB Trail
Open year-round | 56 kms | 1442m climbing | 1423m descending
Combine epic riding with equally epic dining on the Indigo Epic Trail.
This intermediate trail serves up 56km of wilderness riding with a side of breweries, distilleries and local produce. Loop from the historic towns of Beechworth and Yackandandah on machine built wilderness trail, over A and B-line features and past ferns, a waterfall and gold mining history.
Yackandandah MTB Park
Open year-round | 70kms of trail | 4 adventure loops to choose from
What hand-built cross-country dreams are made of.
Yackandandah MTB Park’s year-round network is divided into 4 big, well-signed intermediate loops (plus a green Adaptive MTB loop). Soak in the bushland scenes as you weave through historic gold mining zones at your own speed or send it to up the tech.
Want more spice? Add on the advanced Carcass Canyon section to drop into a 160 year old gold mining race.
Cascades Trail
Open November - April | 30 kms | 500m climbing | 1550m descending
Your efforts are rewarded three-fold on this absolutely cracking dark blue alpine trail with a huge 1550m of descent.
Take the shuttle from charming Marysville to the top of Lake Mountain to start your ride. The 30km Cascades Trail is an adventure of four parts taking you over alpine granite, loamy dirt, steep and deep berms and finishing with fun red clay rollers. Great for e-bikes and acoustics alike.
Australian Alpine Epic Trail
Open December - April | 46kms | 1124m climbing | 2059m descending
Head to Mt Buller to ride Australia's only offical IMBA Epic trail.
The advanced 46km Australian Alpine Epic is for experienced riders seeking a full wilderness immersion. Test yourself with huge climbing and descending elevation, picnic at Bluff Spur Hut and finish it off with a dip in the Delatite River. Pre-book a shuttle back to the top of Mt Buller to rehash the adventure over brews.
Stonefly Trail
Open December - April | 10.3kms | 351m climbing | 352m descending
Don't let the modest 10kms fool you, this Mt Buller Bike Park trail serves up more than the map suggests.
Stonefly dishes out a 6km technical climb, subalpine views and a Bluff Memorial Hut rest stop before rewarding you with a long whoop and holler descent. The best bit? Mt Buller Bike Park's network of trails to reach the start of Stonefly are absolute bangers. If you've still got more in the tank veer off onto the Delatite River Trail for some flow.
