Falls Creek Mountain Bike Park

Falls Creek trails are built with riders in mind. Mostly XC and with a lot of flow, the network stacks up with some of World Trail's most rideable destinations across the globe. All up there is over 42km of trails.

Shuttles run every weekend (with stops at the Ticketbox, Bike Hub and Summit) but this doesn't mean you need to use them all the time. For each descent there is a corresponding technical uphill to take you back where you started, or give a bonus to the avid climber. Shuttles are run by Blue Dirt Mountain Biking and operate every weekend during the mountain bike season and every day from late December to early February. The price is about $70 per day.

Bikes can be rented in Falls Creek Village.

Located alongside the Village Bike Cafe in the Slalom North Car Park, free facilities are provided for riders including bike wash, servicing station, bottle fill point and trail map and location information.

There are 8 x green trails, 11 x blue trails and 4 x black trails. The trails are:

Aqueduct 4.5km Multi-direction. The sightseer's trail, this follows the pretty water course across the top of the village with access to many trails. Relatively flat and well graded, this trail is ideal for all abilities including children and walkers. (Green easy level)

Eagle Rock 1.3km XC Descent. Descending flow trail from the Summit Road entrance through to Pretty Valley Road below. Introduces some tight berms and minor rollers with a forgiving gradient on the way down (Green easy level)
Skills Park 0.5km XC Flow Descent. This is a great one to loop - a fun descending pump track from the bottom of Big Fella into the Village Bowl. It's a great training ground for beginners with introductory berms, rollers and jumps. (Green easy level)
Turbine 1.2km XC Descent. Brings in some natural features of roots and rocks to bump your way over whilst navigating through the snow gums. Re-routed from an up trail to descend, tighter berms mean technical skills are slightly higher than other green descents (Green easy level)
Greenline 5 / 8km XC descent. Descending link-up of intro green trails from the Summit to Lake Foreshore. Start dusty on the Summit Road before switching to singletrack on Eagle Rock, Turbine and Lakeview Trails. From the Lakeside to Village a further 3km extension of green & white trail makes 8km total. Lap all day on a shuttle pass or link onto connecting blues, this is a fun ride that's good for all abilities (Green easy level)

Graveyard 0.6km XC Climb. Technically a climb but not a demanding one as you fork off from Big Fella across the Summit face to Pretty Valley Road above. A good link into Eagle Rock or Lorna's (Blue intermediate level)
Packhorse 4.6km XC Climb. One way climb to access the village from the Ticket Box in Howmans Gap. Get ready for a steady grind for most of the way with not too many serious pinches. Keep an eye out for walkers on this multi use trail - it also reverses to descent on selected events

Flowtown 5.8km XC Flow Descent. A massive 5.8km descent from the Gully to the Ticket Box in Howmans Gap. A super fun trail, Flowtown takes riders along the top side of the Bogong High Plains Road loaded with features that you can take as hard or easy as you like. It's literally a non-stop rollercoaster of flowing berms, wide bridges and massive rollers. Big berms and subtle yet effective launches through the trees make this a great ride at speed. Once in the final 3km stretch it's a laugh out loud kind of fun as you cut the brakes and pump your way through machine built perfection! Descending flow descent with big regulating rollers in between wide bridges and A/B jump lines through the trees. (Blue intermediate level)

Big Fella 1.3km XC Descent. Advanced All Mountain trail with a steep gradient and built features after the Graveyard fork. Use to access the Skills Park or jump off early to visit the Big Fella tank and village (Black advanced level)
High Voltage 2.3km XC Flow Descent. The Trig starts off with some awesome views before heading down to High Voltage by way of a steep armoured access for around 50m. Technically not a black ride in entirety, this early section bumps the trail into that class with technical skills needed to ride this without wearing out your brakes. Once on the singletrack it is a feature-rider's dream with some epic flow action all the way down. Descending flow-descent filled with lines of recurring jumps, bridges and rollers. A/B lines make this definitely rideable for Intemediate skill levels, riders just may want to take extra care on the initial armoured descent (Black advanced level)
Thunderbolt 2.1km AM Descent. Intermediate difficulty All Mountain trail with some advanced features in places up high on the Summit. Further down plenty of flow around the corners with some fun jumps, berms and A/B lines (Black advanced level)
Summit to Ticketbox 10.8km XC Descent. The Big One. From the Summit top joining Flowtown up with Frying Pan, High Voltage and Wishing Well gives an unbroken 10.8km stretch of singletrack from the Summit to the Ticket Box. All up this is a 525m descent and the final stretch is suitable for Intermediate riders. This was the first 10km+ unbroken gravity trail to launch in Australia and holds its own as a must-ride for any serious shredder. It has everything from steep rock gardens and huge jump lines to massive berms and fast pump-track. Descending flow descent with big regulating rollers in between wide bridges and A/B jump lines through the trees (Black advanced level)
