A thrilling and relaxing off-road bike adventure awaits on the lower slopes of Hobart's Mt Wellington, where riders of all skill levels can enjoy a stunning journey rolling through lush rainforest.
Participants take in breathtaking views, encounter curious wildlife, and wonder at the unique Tasmanian landscape.
Perfect for families, groups, couples, and solo adventurers.
The compact gravel track is wide, has gentle gradients, and is generally very smooth under tyres. The trail is easy to navigate, there are trail signs and maps are available too.
The first part of the ride ascends into the rainforest, the climb is so gentle it's almost flat. Then, it's a long descent rolling gently down through the forest, finishing back at Tasmanian Mountain Bike Adventures shop on the edge of the city.
This ride promises a memorable experience. The diverse natural environment is stunning and this gentle trail unlocks the beauty & wonder of the mountain.
What's Included

What to expect
Next, board the minibus for a 15 minute shuttle to the village of Fern Tree, in the foothills of Mt Wellington; this is where your bike ride starts. The shuttle driver will show you the start of the trail, it's called the Pipeline Track.
This is a self-guided ride, so you can go at your own pace, and make your own schedule.
From the shuttle drop-off point, you can ride up the Pipeline Track for up to 13 km. It's a very gentle ascent, almost flat, taking you deeper into the rainforest.
At the furthest point of the trail you'll find a spring, cascading over the rocks. At this point, turn around, and roll back down the Pipeline Track.
Once you're back at Fern Tree, the forest trail continues to descend for another 7 km back to the shop in South Hobart. The last 1.5km to the shop is quiet residential road.
Riding the entire trail, expect to cover about 33km.
The trail is signed, plus we provide a printed map and a map that can be accessed on a mobile phone.
