Best Mountain Bike Trails in Obelisk Range

The Obelisk Range offers a challenging high-altitude mountain biking experience with a steep 9km grind followed by technical riding toward the distinctive 26.6-metre Kopuwai rock formation at 1,682m elevation. Riders navigate 4WD roads and old fencelines through terrain rich with goldmining history and heritage huts, while enjoying expansive views from one of the highest points between the range and the South Pole. Best ridden outside winter and lambing season, this is an adventure for experienced riders seeking solitude and spectacular Central Otago scenery.
