The trail

Ben Lomond Reserve, Queenstown

Formerly known as Queenstown Bike Park, this network is maintained by the Queenstown Mountain Bike Club. Some routes are Grade 3 or 4, but much of the terrain is steep and technical. World Cup, Hobbit and Killer Bee are Grade 6 routes.

Before you go

  • Trails are free to ride. Pedal up Skyline Access Road, or purchase a Skyline mountain-bike uplift pass.
  • Gondola uplift has seasonal hours and can pause in heavy rain or lightning. Most trails suit experienced riders.
