Wanaka is the perfect place for a cycling or mountain bike adventure. There is quite a range of good mountain biking options. Mellow lakeside trails, challenging downhill rides, exploration of old miners tracks and heli mountain biking. The climate in Wanaka makes it ideal for cycling all year round. When you finally tire of skiing all day you can mountain bike the following day without worrying that the runs are cold and wet.
Single Track - Most serious mountain bike riders find themselves lost in the bliss of the singletrack area by the Lake Wanaka Outlet. Tight turns, steep downhills and man-made features such as gap jumps, road gaps, drop offs and banked turns, make this a place to spend the entire day. With some easier grades, this is an area for people of most skill levels to enjoy. If you don't know the area you can pick up a trail map from the information center or one of the local bike shops in town.
Lakeside Tracks - The Outlet Track runs between Wanaka and Albert Town alongside the Clutha River and Lake Wanaka. The ride into town takes about 1.5 hours along the lake and river each way. You can bike via the main road in about 30 mins to make it only a 2 hour round trip. The trail also continues past Wanaka along the western edge of Lake Wanaka.
Freeride NZ Ltd is an all-inclusive freeride/DH mountain bike guiding company. Based in Wanaka. Providing single day and multi day adventures. We cater for all riding abilities. Your New Zealand mountain bike experience begins with us.
Bendigo Gold Mining Area - About 20 mins drive from Wanaka you will find a maze of bike trails amongst run down buildings, scrub, extraordinary rocky terrain and 100 metre deep mine shafts. This area was a busy gold mining town in the late 1800's. It's definitely worth a look!
