Trails

Check out some of the beginner trails on the valley floor we’ll be exploring during the Intro to MTB Clinic…

Pipeline Path

With only a slight undulation you loop around the southern end of the village along the Thredbo River. Keep pedalling onto the Friday Flat Loop, Bridle Loop or Thredbo Valley Track or simply follow the track behind the big carpark, onto Friday Drive back to the village.

Rockpools

Rockpools is a beginner-friendly gravity trail with small berms, a gentle descent, and basic rock features. Accessible via Woodridge Lodge or the Merritts Gondola (lift ticket required), the trail is named after the scenic rockpools swimming spot nearby.

Thredbo Valley Track

This impressive shared-use trail takes riders down the picturesque Thredbo Valley and includes some amazing suspension bridges. Meandering along the banks of the famous Thredbo River, riders can maintain flow undulating through open grasslands and thick eucalyptus forests.
