Description
The Dunstan Trail is a 'must do' one day adventure. Meet the nzbiketrails team in Cromwell - approx. 45-60mins drive from Queenstown or Wanaka. You will be provided with a route overview, a safety briefing and an introduction to your bike. Once ready you will cycle the 42km Lake Dunstan Trail from Cromwell to Clyde.
The Dunstan Trail is a 'must do' one day adventure. nzbiketrails is an Official Partner of the Lake Dunstan Trail and NZ Great Rides.
The Dunstan Trail is a Grade 1-3 Trail. The surface is good throughout (compact gravel). There are two 150m climbs which the e-bike option will help you to get to the top and enjoy the ride. nzbiketrails recommends e-bikes for this experience as there is no road access for the last 25km of the ride. Our e-bikes can be ridden in the 'off' and 'eco' mode for those requiring less assistance. E-bikes helps families and groups stay together and makes it a more sociable ride for the entire party.
The trail is a stunning ride, opened in May 2021 - a feat of engineering. You will enjoy riding on the 450m of 'clip-ons' to the mountain side and also over the 85m long Hugo suspension bridge. In total there is about 2.5 hours of actual riding so you have time to briefly stop at the Carrick Winery and Burger Afloat for refreshments along the way.
Once you get to Clyde you should have time for a quick celebratory drink before you are shuttled back to Cromwell in the nzbiketrails luxury transport.
All riders should be confident on a bike, taller than 130cm and 8 years and over. Younger riders should be confident riders and able to handle a bike including having experience changing gears.
