Mountain Biking

Mountain Bike Riding in the Snowies

Long has Thredbo been reigned as one of the premier locations for downhill mountain bikers with its pristine tracks and easy chairlift ride to the top of the course. Now Jindabyne and the Alpine Way are closing the gap for cross country (XC) and all mountain bikers.

A brand new trail which currently is 14km long connecting Tyrolean Village all the way through jindabyne and on towards Snowline Caravan park and the turn off for Thredbo is nearing completion. The Tyrolean track can currently be ridden and you will see plenty of enthusiasts in the afternoons tearing up the trails.

Accommodation & Guided Tours

Australian Alpine Resorts can arrange accommodation to suit mountain bike tourists and if your after a taste of the best the Snowies mountain bike trails then why not include a guided tour from one of the locals. You can choose to bring your own bike or let them fit you with a specialised bike fit for adventure.

 

Thredbo Downhill Mountain Biking

Downhill Mountain biking is definitly one of the most adrenaline pumping activities on offer in the Snowies. As the snow melts and the sun is once again shining down on the Valley the bike fanatics come out to play and the ski runs are transformed in winding and exhilirating tracks whilst the chairlift runs throughout the day to take you straight back to the top. If downhill isnt for you then don't dispair Thredbo offers a wide range of tracks including a cross country trail and something for everyone. If your new to Thredbo downhill riding then you will need to complete an initiation to ride the chair and trails with your bike.
