Beautiful rural Southland farmland surrounded by towering majestic peaks, coupled with magical beech forests and glacial lakes
The 186km NZ cycle trails ride consists of a mix of purpose built firm gravel cycle trails, and gravel public roads.
Our Pure Trails mountain bike tour of the Around the Mountains Cycle Trail features 55% cycling on NZ cycle trails, and 45% cycling on gravel roads. Although we rate days 1, 2 & 3 as Grade 1, overall we rate the trail Grade 2 due to some moderate climbs on Day 5 that can be skipped if desired. The new Lake2Lake cycle trail from Te Anau to Manapouri is included in our trip and is a real highlight.
