New MTB Trails for Summer 25/26
This summer's shaping up to be something special at the Peak.
We’ve officially broken ground on 3 brand new MTB trails, each designed to open up new possibilities for every level of rider, from groms and first-timers to full-send pros. While these fresh lines won't be ready for opening day on 6 December, construction is rolling, and we're aiming to bring them online throughout the season.
Here’s what’s coming:
Wakatipu View: Approx. 2.7km – Grade 2 (green)
Our easiest trail yet. Designed for those new to mountain biking and families, Wakatipu View cruises across the face of the mountain with smooth, flowing lines and (you guessed it) epic views. Expect mellow to moderate gradients, turns, berms and plenty of Good Times.
Velvet Rolls: Approx. 600m – Grade 3 (blue)
A fun little link off Wakatipu View that takes things up a notch. This mid-mountain roller playground features gentle jumps, flow and undulating terrain the perfect progression for riders leveling up.
World Cup: Approx. 1.9km – Grade 6 (black)
Built for the brave. This full-noise top-to-bottom trail is going in on the opposite side of the chairlift from the main DH line. It’s steep, it’s technical, and it’s built to push the limits. Only for the most advanced riders.
What you need to know
-
Wakatipu View and Velvet Rolls are tracking for completion before Christmas (subject to weather).
-
World Cup will be opening in the New Year.
-
Improved access to Dirt Serpent is also on the way (a staff favourite!)
We’re stoked to be building these trails in partnership with the legends at Dirt Design, led by Kepler Rek. Progress has to be careful and considered as we’re navigating spring snow, sensitive alpine ecosystems, and a commitment to minimising the impact from building these trails. Every metre is built with care and respect for the maunga.
These are just the first tracks to come from our newly approved DOC Master Plan. So stay tuned as Coronet's MTB future is just getting started.
See you on the hill soon. Let’s ride!
