What To Expect
This is a stunning ride in any season including Winter where it is a great 'active' day off skiing for the family.
Daily luxury nzbiketrails shuttles from Wanaka. We will even share a little history on the way.
On arrival in Cromwell you will be provided with a Lake Dunstan Trail route overview, a safety briefing, an introduction to your bike and we will set up your seat height. Once ready you will cycle the Lake Dunstan Trail self-guided from Cromwell to Clyde - 42km of purpose built trail.
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, with very little effort involved!
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 over the 84m long Hugo suspension bridge. In total there is about 2.5 hours of actual riding so you have time to stop at the Carrick Winery 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 Wanaka at 3pm.
The Dunstan Trail is a 'must do' one day adventure.
