Description

Cardrona Alpine Resort is well known for skiing but head up in Summer and the groomed slopes are replaced with awesome mountain bike trails! Cardrona is New Zealand's highest mountain bike park with uplifts to take you to the top of the trails because going dowhill is much more fun! The mountain offers trails for everyone from beginners to advanced riders and also offers a free pump track and beginner skills area to practice your technique before taking it to the trails. With fewer crowds than other bike parks you'll get way more laps in at Cardrona!

For those wishing to hire mountain bikes, Cardrona has a great bike fleet including full suspensions and downhill bikes for both adults and children. Bike rentals include the use of full face helmet and a set of pads and can be collected on the mountain to save transporting a bike up or down the hill.

Transfers are available from the Cardrona Hotel where you can jump on board a shuttle to the base station.
