MTB adventure trail in Central Otago, NZ

The Gold Trail

See New Zealand as it was, from Coast to Alps.
 This challenging tour takes in some of Otago’s most remote back country. Following New Zealand’s oldest goldmining route, we pass mining relics, ghost towns and abandoned high country homesteads. Characterized by typical high country Otago landscape of tussock, spinifex and rocky outcrops, this is arguably NZ’s most unspoilt high country environment.
 This tour has the most rideable, non tarsealed content of any rides. It takes us through Naseby, with its awesome single track network and up into the big sky country of the Mackenzie basin for stunning views of the Alps.
