St James Cycle Trail Mountain Bike Trail

This trail offers challenging, mixed riding through stunning scenery of mountain peaks, crystal clear waters, high country lakes, alpine meadows, subalpine beech forest, and expansive grassy flats. In spring the alpine meadows are in full bloom while summers offers long evenings and the chance to see the famous St James wild horses. Riding options:- The best time to ride is from November to April.- Start at the Maling Pass entrance and finish at St James Homestead - travelling in this direction provides more downhill riding and the prevailing wind is more favourable.- For young families or riders with insufficient time or experience to attempt the full trail, the Peters Loop will give you a taste.
