Riding Australia’s Steepest MTB Trail

Welcome to Queenstown, Tasmania—a town carved by copper and chaos, now reborn as Australia’s ultimate mountain biking playground. Once the richest mining town on Earth, Queenstown’s copper boom left behind a surreal lunar landscape that today hosts some of the gnarliest trails in the country. With RoamWild Tasmania running the shuttle game, I dive headfirst into the madness of Mt Owen. From the icy summit to legendary descents, this ride is pure adventure: • 🌨️ Charmouni Traverse – slick, technical, and snow-dusted • 🔥 North Owen Descent – 1.6 km of raw, terrifying steepness dropping 478 vertical metres • 🏔️ Natural Selection – double black chaos with hidden drops • 💦 Waterfall Trail – 8 km of flow beside a 150-metre waterfall • 🌙 Welcome to Queenstown – smooth, scenic, and the perfect wind-down This place is unreal—moon-surface trails, wild weather, and rides you’ll never forget.
