The Supervolcanic Trail Network

It takes 27,000 years to get to a place like this

Mountain bikers of all levels enjoy a network of over 30 wildly different trails covering more than 380km. From the bucket-list Great Lake Trails to family-friendly Craters Mountain Bike Park, there's something for everyone. It's Aotearoa’s best mountain biking network.

Thousands of years ago, one of the largest eruptions in history left a hole the size of Lake Taupō. Volcanic rock was thrown over a vast area creating a unique, spectacular landscape.

Forming a mountain biker's paradise with a catalogue of memorable moments — from slicing through volcanic gorges on your bike, taking a helicopter ride over ancient terrains, to jetting across the crystalline waters of Lake Taupō, every turn goes beyond your wildest biker dreams.

The network is waiting to be conquered by riders of all levels, whether you're a full strength thrill-seeking adventurer, a medium trail connoisseur, or a family pack scenic explorer.

Thanks to our pumice-rich, free-draining soils of the region, year-round singletrack riding is calling. Time to get on your bike!
