Mountain biking

If your idea of riding a bike involves plummeting down mountainsides dodging branches, potholes and boulders, there are trails and off-road options galore.

Melbourne is a bike-friendly city, with over 1,000 kilometres of designated bike paths criss-crossing the city. Head to the High Country and follow one of the bike tracks around Mount Buller. Recover from easy or moderately terrifying terrain, or the most difficult track in the country on the chairlift back up the hill and do it all over again. Follow an experienced guide through the beautiful Grampians countryside under a star-filled night sky and see the nocturnal animals that inhabit the park.
