Gravel Loop de Loop

Loop through the Chiltern countryside on shaded rides through the Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park.

The Chiltern Loop is ideal for summer riding. Adventure down fire trails and laneways past abundant wildlife, without ever veering too far from town. Suitable for year-round riding, the Chiltern – Mt Barambogie Figure 8 tree-lined route is a hidden gem of a ride serving up a prime, compact road surface.

Town to town Gravel

Ride from historic town to town on Chiltern's picturesque point-to-point gravel routes.

Get set for a climbing challenge on the Chiltern-Beechworth route as it winds through the "rolled gold" crushed granite trails of the Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park , serene country roads and Rail Trail. Pedal to famous wineries on the Chiltern-Rutherglen ride. Roll on a mix of trail surfaces past bushland and the history-filled Magenta Mine, Cornishtown Hall and Mt Ophir Estate .

BIKE FRIENDLY STAYS

Set on 11 stunning acres, Tallowwood Farm is ideal for a group of friends or a couples getaway – think outdoor baths, a fire pit, fresh eggs, stunning alfresco dining and friendly hand-raised animals ready for pats.

Grab a cabin or campsite at the leafy Lake Anderson Caravan Park , just a 3-minute walk from the main street of town, and soak in the serenity. After a stay with a historic spin? Cosy up at restored Wark Cottage (a workers cottage from 1895) or The Old Chiltern Bank bed and breakfast.
