Mountain Bike Trails

Downhill MTB
Mt Baw Baw’s downhill mountain bike track the ‘DH1’ has developed a reputation amongst the Australian riding community as a challenging and exciting run. DH1 includes some includes some loose and gnarly sections that are a bit of a throwback to the earlier downhill mountain bike trails. The start of the track is located along side Village Central Restaurant. Riders are faced with a large wall ride before disappearing down the old chairlift run and Jeep Track. Some of the best riders have conquered the 300 vertical meters descent in just over 3 1/2 minutes.

DH1 will challenge the most competent rider however developing riders have the opportunity to bypass some of the more difficult features via alternate ‘B-line’ routes. The Mt Baw Baw DH1 track is open during the green season (excluding major event weekends) from the end of November till late April each year.

Mt Baw Baw requires full face helmets to be worn on DH1 and advises the use of body armour.

Cross Country MTB
From summit check out Upper Tyers, Tanjil Link (intermediate) and Mueller’s (advanced) single tracks or take it easy on the Summit and Village green runs. Village and McMillan trails meander through undulating terrain down to the boundary of the Baw Baw National Park in the north. The ride is picturesque with rest areas and picnic tables scattered along the trail.

Backcountry beauty
Visit the Resort’s iconic landmarks and enjoy stunning sights including fields of wildflowers, forests of Snow Gums and Mountain Ash and the impressive view from the summit. Anthill lookout provides spectacular views over Baragwanath Flat to Mt Phillack and Mt Whitelaw, whilst numerous species of mammals can be spotted in the snow gum woodland including wombats. All levels are catered for, meaning beginners right through to hardened experts can explore the area using pedal power!

Access to the trails is FREE, bring your bike and have fun! If you would like to ride on DH1 trail, please ensure you have your own shuttle service.
