No mountain bike park in New Zealand compares to The Gorge. The Gorge MTB Park runs shuttles for an expansive range of trails near Nelson. Its location, nestled against the Richmond Forest Park with views over to Golden Bay, sets you up for a mountain biker paradise. The 70km of trails are graded as having 73% grade 3-4 and the rest grade 5-6. The trails are more technical than the flow but are well signposted, with routes marked to help you find your way down. The revolving shuttles allow plenty of time to make the most of your day. Stay at one of our mountain lodges. There is so much riding for the intermediate rider with room to be challenged, and then there is 'The Dark Side'.
