Mt Wellington: ‘Big Day Out’ Adventure Trail | 33+ km | Self-Guided
A full day mountain biking experience invites you to take on a series of connected trails that blend long descents, flowing terrain and steady climbs. Designed for riders who enjoy covering distance, it offers a mix of technical features, forest scenery and varied riding styles throughout the day.
Your journey begins with a shuttle to an elevated trailhead where the first descent leads into a well established bike park. Here, you can add laps and session jump lines before continuing onto the long climb that takes you back towards the upper slopes. With the option to start even higher at a summit trailhead, riders can extend the day with sweeping views and an exhilarating road descent before joining the main route.
The final section brings a sequence of intermediate descents that wind through forested terrain towards the finish point. Along the way, clearly signed trails and well linked routes help you navigate the varied landscape, whether opting for analogue riding or using an e-bike for an easier climb.
This experience is ideal for confident mountain bikers seeking a rewarding big day out, with the option to add a guided ride or skills coaching. The combination of distance, trail variety and a relaxed finish near a local brewery creates a satisfying conclusion to a substantial day on the bike.
