Mount Baw Baw

Mt Baw Baw Alpine Resort is one of Australia's most unique mountain biking destinations, transforming from a winter ski resort into a spectacular alpine riding playground throughout the warmer months. Open almost year-round, the resort offers breathtaking scenery, cool mountain air and riding for everyone from first-time trail riders to elite downhill racers. The cross-country trail network winds through snow gum woodlands and alpine forests, with flowing singletrack, challenging climbs and rewarding descents. Riders can explore iconic locations including the summit, enjoy panoramic views from Anthill Lookout, and pass through fields of wildflowers and towering Mountain Ash forests. Elevated boardwalks protect sensitive alpine environments while providing enjoyable riding across wetter sections, and picnic areas along the way make it easy to stop and take in the scenery. Cross-country trails are free to access, with bike hire available from the Adventure Hub. For gravity riders, Mt Baw Baw's downhill track is one of Australia's most iconic alpine descents. Dropping around 300 vertical metres from the village, the trail features a demanding mix of berms, rock gardens, log drops, rollovers, jumps and technical features that have challenged some of the country's fastest riders. While the main line is designed for experienced downhill riders, many of the larger obstacles include alternate B-lines, making the trail accessible to confident intermediate riders looking to progress their skills. Whether you're chasing flowing alpine cross-country trails or one of Australia's most technical downhill runs, Mt Baw Baw delivers an unforgettable mountain biking experience surrounded by some of Victoria's most spectacular alpine scenery.
