If you're a keen mountain biker, you'll be pleased to know that Tongariro National Park includes some of the country's best riding tracks.   Click here for local track info

The  42 Traverse  is one of the most popular rides in the North Island, with its long rutted hills.
Even experienced riders will be challenged by the Jon McDonald Loop - a 40 km track, which takes 4 to 7 hours to complete.

Fisher's Track is a steady climb to the summit and then along a 17km downhill stretch.    Located in National Park just 15 km from the Chateau.

There are also several impressive 'downhills' here, and most tracks also boasts beautiful scenery, as you ride by mountain streams and through dense green forest under the watchful eyes of our three towering volcanoes.
