Health & Safety

Do you know how to ride safely on the trails? Check out the Mountain Bikers Code for tips on how to look after yourself and others.

Due to the nature of our trails, we recommend riding a mountain bike with disc brakes and suspension designed for downhill trails.

All mountain bikers must wear a certified mountain bike helmet. We also recommend wearing a full-face helmet and gloves.

Our Dirt Patrollers respond to injuries on the mountain. If you are injured on the trail and unable to move, call +64 3 443 1576. This number is also on the back of your lift pass.

Alternatively, ask a staff member or another rider to notify the lift operator at the bottom of the lift. Provide your location and the nature of the injury, if known.

If you're able to return to the Base Area, please visit the medical centre to see Patrol.

‘Shotgun’ and ‘Do Little’ mountain bike seats can be used at the Bike Park. However, we recommend sticking to Green Trails and taking it easy.

Please ensure the seat is correctly set up and securely fitted to the bike.

Not sure which trail to ride? Check out the trail map to explore your options, including trail progression and flow versus technical trails.

Look out for signs along the trails showing trail names, grades, merges, drops and closures.

"Really awesome bike trails!"

Best example of a park with the 'Whistler' model done right - awesome skiing in the winter and a fully complete bike park in the summer. Love the ride down to the Cardrona pub too!

我们很喜欢小狗,但为了保障所有客人的安全和体验,在运营中的山地车公园区域内(即对公众开放的所有山地车和卡丁车路线)不允许携带狗进入。

狗狗可以在指定区域活动,但必须全程牵绳或放置在笼内。这些区域包括停车场、山脚基地和步行步道。请务必自行清理宠物排泄物,并尊重他人对宠物的感受。

只有经过认证的残障辅助犬,以及由 Cardrona 员工或救援人员带领的工作犬,才是上述规定的例外。
