Experience the rural charm, gold mining heritage, and stunning natural landscapes of the Old Ghost Road, an 85km trail that stretches over mountains and valleys and through rushing rivers.

The track has been resurrected as one of New Zealand’s most famous mountain biking and tramping experiences.
Duration: It is typically a 2-3 day ride, best enjoyed in spring and summer for longer, warmer days. Winter conditions can be cold and increase avalanche risk.
