Description
From Mt Rosa in the heart of Gibbston wine country, to the renowned wine region of Bannockburn where lunch is included, the Kawarau Gorge Trail connects the two on this self-guided eBike adventure.
Ride the Kawarau Gorge Trail from Gibbston to Bannockburn and on to Cromwell (39km) connecting with the trail headd from Cromwell.
The Kawarau Gorge Trail is the much anticipated backcountry cycle trail that connects the Queenstown Trails that start in Gibbston with the Central Otago trails that start in Bannockburn, as it travels through the backcountry landscape alongside the Kawarau River.
This self-guided single-day eBike tour includes Premium eBike rental, a delicious celebratory lunch & drink at the Bannockburn Hotel and the shuttle from Cromwell to Gibbston to start the day.
From Mt Rosa, the Kawarau Gorge Trail follows the path of the early settlers who explored the region during the gold rush period. The trail defies engineering - traversing bluffs, crossing above the Kawarau River on clip-on bridges, meandering along paths that have been built and shaped to sit naturally within the challenging terrain.
Wind beneath the Nevis Bluff and enjoy access to previously inaccessible terrain through the gorge which deliver stunning sights, including rocky outcrops, the magnificent Kawarau River, and historic gold mining settlements.
Along Felton Road as the trail enters Bannockburn, there may be time to call into a local cellar door. Follow the trail towards Bannockburn village, and enjoy a relaxing lunch at the Bannockburn Hotel overlooking this stunning wine region. After lunch, at the Bannockburn Bridge join the grade 2 Lake Dunstan Trail for the last few kilometres as the trail winds along the Bannockburn Inlet towards the Cromwell Heritage Precinct and onward to the Kiwi Journeys depot in Cromwell.
NB: The Kawarau Gorge Trail has some Grade 3 sections where the trail is steep, exposed & narrow. Riders must be confident on a bike and have a good level of fitness. This trail is not for beginner cyclists; not suitable for children under 10
