Mt Wellington: Pipeline Track (Mid Section Start) | Up To 33km | Self-Guided

A relaxed mountain biking experience invites you to explore gentle forest trails on the lower slopes of a well known alpine landscape. With flowing terrain and easy gradients, this outing offers a comfortable introduction to off road riding through quiet temperate rainforest.

Your journey begins with a short shuttle to the midway point of a popular track, where the ride starts along wide, smooth gravel. As you move through the forest, you will pass giant ferns, historic aqueducts, small waterfalls and clear streams, with regular opportunities to pause and enjoy the scenery. The route is suitable for riders with basic bike skills and can be shortened at any time thanks to its out and back design.

With options to upgrade to a different bike style, choose an e bike or join a private guided ride, the experience can be tailored to suit your comfort level. Clear trail signs and a map make navigation simple, allowing you to move at your own pace and enjoy the changing views as the track winds through the landscape.

This ride suits families, beginners and anyone wanting a friendly half day adventure with light climbing, flowing descents and peaceful forest surrounds. Returning to the finish point on a gentle downhill makes for an easy and enjoyable end to the day.
