Queenstown is a premier four season lake and alpine destination and is world famous for its breath taking scenery, vast range of experiences, cosmopolitan vibe and friendly local hosts. With a rapidly growing reputation as the Southern Hemisphere’s premiere bike destination offering a diverse trail network suitable for a wide range of abilities it has, among other things, one of only two gondola assisted MTB parks in the Southern Hemisphere.
The global mountain bike culture recognises Queenstown as an international destination and hotspot for escaping the Northern Hemisphere winter, giving professional riders off season training, photo shoots, film edits, events and an immersion in MTB culture year round. Bikers seek out Queenstown and it’s surrounds for a high quality MTB experience.
The Queenstown trail network and activities are growing faster than the maps, website and guide information can be distributed, linking them and chasing the ones that suit your style of riding is one of the biggest challenges to visiting such a diverse playground. It can be hard to network the large number of trails and connect the dots while making the best use of your limited time in this dramatic mountainous region.
With your personalised host from The Inside Line you’ll find your experience sequenced in a practical and achievable manner. Your package will be put together by taking the best of what’s out there and matching it to your own group’s requirements, so that you all have a more holistic experience.
Queenstown is an Alpine Environment with weather conditions changing rapidly and being on the right trails in the right sequence and season can make a difference to the quality of your experience. You’ll be networking trail options in a fluid, efficient manner to maximise use of time, engaging with relevant local experiences and adapting quickly based on seasonal weather variables and track conditions and your needs.
Engage with The Inside Line, let us know your desires, abilities and expectations along with your timeframe and budget, and we can shape, with pride, an unforgettable, inspiring experience for you in this spectacular place we love and call home.
