Mountain Biking
A plethora of trails wind their way all over the valley and you don’t have to go far to find some world class single track. If you are looking for something a little tamer, try the River Trail around town which is chariot and child friendly. Starting at the lodge, The Lazy Lizard Trail has quickly become one of the most popular trails in the area. The trail is designed as an up and down trail for various ability levels including novice and young riders.
Please note: We do not allow bike shuttles up our road.
