Mountain Biking
The Snowy Mountains and Jindabyne is a great location to ride. Some say it is as good as mountain biking in Italy. Riding around Lake Jindabyne on the bike path is a great family outing. Both our principals are keen riders and will be able to advise some good rides round jindabyne and at Lake Crackenback. Kosciusko Thredbo will set you up for the legendary Cannonball Run at Thredbo. Or you can hire a bike and cycle the Cascade Fire Trail or ride to Tom Groggin in the heart of the Kosciusko National Park. Call 02 6457 6234, for riding bookings, and sales of excellent bikes. The Snowy Region Visitor Centre in Jindabyne can provide detailed maps (at a cost) and information on trails which are recommended for any mountain biking in the national park. Ph: 1800 004 439. And the local Jindabyne bike shops know all the trails as they built them! There are awesome rides at Lake Crackenback, plus there is now a new trail from Thredbo to Lake Crackenback. There is a new Mountain Bike Trails Guide produced by Perisher resort. There are short and easy rides, to the longer but not overly difficult ones in and around the Perisher resort. You can get a copy at the visitor centres from around the Snowy Mountains or download a copy from the Perisher Website.
