Mountain BikingWOW
Now three single track mountain bike parks within 30 km of Mount Beauty Victoria is blessed with two great world class natural recreational advantages. One is the extensive and accessible natural cross country skiing areas and the other is the mountain biking opportunities in an undeveloped natural environment. There are national parks and state forests with great mountain biking opportunities within a few hours reach of most Victorians. Victoria has the climate for comfortable and practical year round mountain biking. After cross country skiing mountain biking is considered the second best activity to achieve overall fitness levels. Mountain bike racing may be mainly for the young (although the annual Mitta Mitta to Mount Beauty citizen race is designed for everyone with a reasonable level of fitness). However mountain bike touring offers something for every age. There are trails suitable for riders with only a very moderate level of fitness. In a matter of hours you can ride to spectacular locations that would take days to hike to. The ability to cover more than 50km in a day means that you can visit great off road locations without the need to lug camping and cooking gear, and three days food and fuel. Big Hill mountain bike parkThe very best of the opportunities are the Alpine areas accessible from Mount Beauty, sometimes called Australia's Mountain Biking capital. Mount B The following links have very useful interactive maps to understand and plan your rides on Big Hill mountain bike park. https://www.roammtb.com/au/vic/mt-beauty-big-hill http://www.trailforks.com/region/big-hill-mountain-bike-park/ Falls Creek mountain bike trails
Just 30 km up the Bogong High Plains Rd Falls Creek have built a network of 17 of cross country and downhill single track trails totaling 41 km. Having the Falls Creek trails so close offers unparallel variety for single track riders staying in Mount Beauty. It is a great cooler alternative on very hot days in summer. Click on thumbnail to right for trail map. Further a field, the area offers a huge versatility in terrain and views. There are huts to visit, valleys to ride down, mountains and hills to climb, rivers, creeks and aqueducts to follow and cross, and plains to explore. On hot summer days you can head for the High Plains and mountain tops for the cool altitude. Year round the dense lower forests offer protection from the wind and worst of the rain. There are easy almost flat tracks from a few kilometers to 40 kilometers. There are tracks requiring medium fitness and intermediate skills. There are some long down hill one way tracks, and strenuous tracks requiring a high skill level. Some tracks start and finish at Mount Beauty, others start and finish on the high plains, some start and finish part way up the mountain, and yet others start at the top and end at Mount Beauty. Mount Beauty is an ideal base for an extended mountain biking holiday of up to a couple of weeks with little need to repeat tracks. While Kiewa View welcome guests for a weekend, we feel the ideal mountain biking visit is 9 days. From Friday night one week to Sunday the next week.
Oops; that does not leave time for a rest day, some road cycling or a day visiting the local wineries, or sightseeing or fishing, or golf. Perhaps nine days would not be enough, you may you need to come back for a second visit to do it all. It is all there to enjoy. Don't leave without trying it.
