Local’s Weekend at Coronet Peak

Coronet Peak Bike Park is to host a Local’s Weekend this weekend (Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th January) to introduce locals to the exciting mountain biking on offer at the ski area.

On offer is half price multi-ride, day lift passes for Wakatipu residents only*. That is only $15 for an adult, $10 student (7-17 years) and kids 6 and under are free for a full day of riding the Coronet Express.

Sightseeing passes are also available at $15 for an adult, $10 youths and kids 6 and under free.

Operating hours are 11am to 7pm both days and transport is available, with bike racks, from The Station Building (Duke Street side), departing 11am, 1pm and 4pm. The shuttle service will cost $10 adult and $5 child one way.

Locals are invited to come along and ride either the downhill track (which has been described by Scarlett Hagen as being as good as anything in Europe), the downhill X Country for 4.2kms of wow, or the beginner option down the summer road - all with some of the most spectacular views in the country.

If freestyle is your thing, get into the mini park with jumps, berms, see-saws and balancing challenges for both young and old.

There is a limited range of adult rental bikes on the mountain available through Outside Sports, however it is recommended people bring their own bikes.

The Coronet Brasserie will be open serving food and wine/beer, and a fun day is promised for the whole family.
