From ancient rainforests and dramatic coastlines to heritage railways and hidden waterfalls, here is your guide to discovering it all;
The West Coast Mountain Bike Trails provide an experience like no other in the Southern Hemisphere, right here on the West Coast of Tasmania.
From the cool temperate rain forest and button grass plains of Silver City Zeehan, to the rocky alpine ridges of the Mt Owen Queenstown trail network, you’re in for a wild ride. The region’s rich history is set against a landscape that is as breathtakingly beautiful as it is wild and raw.
We’re putting the mountains back into mountain biking. Take a trip, just outside your comfort zone and experience it for yourself.
