The Coronet Loop 'Lite'

There are few genuine backcountry mountain bike rides which are so accessible that you can begin the day with a brew at your favourite coffee shop and finish– suitably muddy and tired - with an icy cold, craft beer. But the Coronet Loop on the Queenstown Trails network is just such an MTB ride.

Full Circuit |50km | 1,650m vertical ascent | Time 4-8 hours

Skippers Saddle to Arrowtown “Lite” Option | 35km | 750m vertical ascent | Time 3-5 hours

Grade 3 Intermediate (with advanced sections)

Starting and finishing in Arrowtown, the full Coronet Loop is a 50km circuit with around 1,650m of vertical ascent and mostly comprised of sensational single track. It’s a big day out by anyone’s standards, and it’s a far more challenging experience than the other trackswhich comprise the Queenstown Trails Great Ride.
