Queenstown is New Zealand's ultimate mountain biking and cycling destination.

Queenstown is a biker's paradise. With a huge variety of trails on offer, there's a biking experience for everyone here, whatever your age, ability, or style of riding - from pedalling along cruisy lakeside trails or shredding down gnarly singletrack.

Queenstown’s epic mountain bike scene, with three lift-assisted bike parks, world-famous trails, and one of the most legendary dirt jump parks on the planet, attracts keen bikers from around the world. A range of trails suited to all abilities ensures there is plenty of terrain for beginners and those keen to develop their skills too. Our biking culture is unique and much of the trail building in Queenstown is due to the legends at the Queenstown Mountain Bike Club and Queenstown Trails, local organisations made up of passionate volunteers.

For those looking for a gentler pace, there are plenty of stunning scenic cycling trails to explore. With an extensive trail network, Queenstown is the perfect base for your next biking adventure. From short scenic rides, to multi-day rides including access to six of New Zealand’s Great Rides spanning Queenstown, Central Otago and Southland, mountain biking in Otago is a great way to discover the region’s scenic landscapes.

The Queenstown Trail, managed by the Queenstown Trails, offers over 130kms of trails beside Lake Whakatipu and our rivers, climbing to Arrowtown and winding through vineyards. Discover historic sites, suspension bridges and hidden gems, ride a small section or discover the whole trail at your leisure.

Biking is one of the best ways to experience Queenstown. Explore our stunning landscape and when you’re not in the saddle, experience our food and wine and an après bike scene second to none.
