For anyone serious about mountain biking Mt Buller is considered a must-do experience. Unique among mountain biking destinations in Australia, Mt Buller offers both world-class cross-country and downhill trails, in the stunning surrounds of the Australian Alps. There is little wonder why 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 descending cross-country trail, the Australian Alpine Epic.
The modular Pump Track, made up of 88 interchangeable parts and 102 liner 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.
From Saturday 31 October the mountain biking and walking trails progressively reopen. Dust off your bike, pull out the walking shoes and enjoy the fresh air and views across Mt Buller and Mt Stirling and all the way to the valley below.
