Mountain Biking in Alice Springs

Highlights

Araluen Mountain Bike Trails includes more than 15 kilometres of dedicated single mountain bike track and an extensive network of fire trail set amongst the West MacDonnell Ranges. The trails are unlike any other in Australia due to the arid rangeland terrain, ideal for mountain biking.

The trails are managed by the Central Australian Rough Rider Mountain Bike Club, who are dedicated local mountain bike riders with a strong commitment to social, recreational riding, trail development and junior rider development. Regular social rides depart from the Alice Springs Scout Hall at the corner of Larapinta and Lovegrove Drives on Wednesday nights.

Trails are suitable for a range of riders, with loops available for juniors and novice riders.
