MT BULLER
BIKE PARK
For anyone serious about mountain
biking Mt Buller is considered a must-do
experience. Unique among mountain
biking destinations in Australia the IMBA
accredited Mt Buller Bike Park offers
both world-class cross-country and
chairlift-assisted downhill trails,
in the stunning surrounds of the
Australian Alps. There is little wonder
Mt Buller Bike Park is becoming
Australia’s hottest ride destination.
Mt Buller Bike Park is home to several firsts in Aussie
mountain biking including Australia’s first flow trail,
Copperhead, and the Southern Hemisphere’s first and
only IMBA Epic Trail, the infamous 40km cross-country
trail, the Australian Alpine Epic.
Over 60kms of single track, and 40kms of additional
trail, designed and built by renowned trail designer Glen
Jacobs and his team from World Trail, blend seamlessly
with the environment. Varying in altitude from 600 to
1700m, the trails are built to be of minimal impact, and
are low-maintenance and sustainable. The majestic
alpine environment guarantees incredible views, while
the trail themselves include a range of technical feature
and obstacles, including two skills parks. Mt Buller Bike
Park also boasts the signature 10km cross-country trail
Stonefly, top of the bucket list for many riders.
AUSTRALIAN ALPINE EPIC
The modular Pump Track, made up of 88 interchangeable
parts and 102 linear metres of rideable surface is also
an Australian first. Featuring numerous bumps, jumps,
and berms, the track is ridden using weight shifts (also
known as pumping, hence the name) to ride the course
continuously without pedalling, and gravity to drive
momentum.
