Location and Getting Here

Mt Hutt Bike Park

Mt. Hutt Bike Park boasts a 40km+ trail network, from a family friendly XC loop to epic single track, double-black diamond technical descents and with some nice climbs to link it all together. All tracks are well maintained with berms, bridge features and jumps. But don’t let the jumps put you off; there are easy lines around all the features and jumps catering for all riders. 

 

The Bike Park is located at the foot of the Mt Hutt Ski Area and can be shuttled using the Mt Hutt Access Road. The Event Village will be located in the Mt Hutt Information Booth Carpark see google map link below:
