This stunning all-seasons adventure playground boasts an enviable array of trails rich in scenery and centred around the buzzing resort town of Wanaka.
Wanaka is a mountain biker's paradise, with hundreds of kilometres of tracks winding through its undulating landscapes. Start by exploring the areas around the lake's edge, then venture further out into forest, farm, river and coastal tracks. A number of mountain biking events are staged around Wanaka, including the Lake Hawea Epic(opens in new window), Motatapu(opens in new window) and The Big Easy.
