Must-Ride: Mt Beauty, The Victorian High Country, Australia
The Flow crew headed to north-east Victoria to ride the splendid singletrack of Beechworth, Mt Beauty and Bright. It was an incredible three days of berms and brews. Here's part 2 of the journey.
Visit Mt Beauty
A 30km scenic drive from Bright, the hub of the beautiful Kiewa Valley is surrounded by the Alpine National Park and offers an easy gateway to the State's highest peaks.
Mount Beauty was originally built by the State Electricity Commission of Victoria to house workers employed on the Kiewa Hydro Electric
Scheme. Developed over 26 years and completed in the 1960s the scheme at its peak employed more than 4000 people Falls Creek, Australia's premier snow resort and renowned warm season bushwalking destination, is just 30km away making Mount Beauty a perfect base for family holidays and lovers of outdoor activities of all kinds including:
• A number of excellent, scenic walking trails dotted with lovely picnic
places such as the 4km, one hour Mount Beauty River Walk which offers a tempting swimming hole to plunge into on a hot day.
• For the fit and fearless, the downhill tracks at the Big Hill Mountain Bike Park
• In the heart of the town, the Mount Beauty Pondage is part of the
Kiewa Hydro-electric Scheme used to regulate flows into the Kiewa
River. It is a haven for recreational fisherfolk and boaters
• Horseriding -- for an easy trail ride or a week-long horseback adventure through spectacular High Country
• And for something completely different, the magic of gliding on a
scenic flight at the Mount Beauty Airpark.
Mount Beauty is also home to one of regional Victoria's best-loved events, the Mount Beauty Music Festival is held each April with a packed weekend program of blues, roots, country, jazz and world music as well as wine, food and markets.
Accommodation of all kinds is available year-round and the town is well serviced with a supermarket, specialty shops, cafes and great local wineries.
Big Hill MTB Park at Mt Beauty
First day of our epic trip to Bright. On that day we decided to explore one of the oldest mountain biking parks in Victoria - Big Bill MTB Park at Mt Beauty.

The Mt Beauty Big Hill Mountain Bike Park has over 40+ km's of top quality cross-country and downhill trails suitable for beginner, intermediate and advanced riders.
Mt Beauty lives up to its name, nestled into the base of Mt Bogong, Victoria's highest mountain. The Kiewa River snakes through the town and offers clear, fresh water for cooling hot and weary cyclists.
Mt Beauty’s iconic Big Hill Mountain Bike Park is home to some of the most natural, raw and exciting trails in Victoria. You won’t find big tabletops or head high berms, however you will find gnarly rock gardens, steep shoots, off camber technical sections and killer views will get you from the top to bottom with a grin from ear to ear.

MTB I Big Hill MTB Park - Mt Beauty I Oct 18
Big Hill MTB Park is in Mt Beauty, the Alpine region of Vic. This is ski country in the winter and MTB in the summer. I went during Spring so was limited to regions that didn't have snow on them like Bright, Mt Beauty and Beechworth. I would like to return to do Falls Creek.
Big Hill MTB Park is will labelled although I still got lost at time. Dragon Tail is a challenging loop, steep in places with tight switch backs and natural rocky features. I spent nearly 5 hours here and didn't cover everything. I suggest planning a loop so you can track your course.
2018 / 2019 VDHS - Mt. Beauty, Round 1
Downhill racing is back on the cards in Victoria, and there was no better way to start than Mt. Beauty. An old school style track, with off cambers, deep ruts and little to no grip, what a recipe for good racing!
Next round is Narbethong, get involved now;

Mt Beauty is one of Australia's original iconic mountain bike towns. Nestled deep in the Kiewa Valley (with Falls Creek and Bright both only 30 minutes away) it's a stunning spot, and the Big Hill Mountain Bike Park is riddled with trails. If you like your riding 'old school' with plenty of challenge, then Mt Beauty is the place for you. These trails have been cranking for over 30 years, and there's more singletrack appearing every year. We always get a buzz out of this spot, and we hope you do too!
