Dinner Plain Mountain Bike Park

Dinner Plain is a small Alpine town located in the Victorian Alps near Mt Hotham at an elevation of 1520 metres.

The village is usually blanketed in snow from July to September so utilising the great bike tracks at Dinner Plain may not be possible during this period. However Hoys at Dinner Plain offer Fat Tyre bike rentals so if you want to take a ride on the snow that is an option.

The Trails

Dinner Plain offers a variety of trials encompassing all levels from first-timers through to avid experts.

The first thing you may recognise is the trails are all named after much loved dogs of Dinner Plain e.g. Baxter’s Run, Shut Up Ollie and Ferg’s, just to mention a few.

A mountain bikers dream undulating ridge lines with amazing views and massive descents through layers of forest with varying terrain, coasting XC, sneaky single tracks through the snowgums and over river crossings, fire trails and old stock/mining routes for some real bush tracks.

Dinner Plain is surrounded by the Alpine National Park creating a magnificent setting for trails. In summer the ski cross country trails are a great place to start if you want to get out amongst it and is a great way to see the surrounding mountain. The fresh alpine air, the cooling of the altitude along with a canopy of snowgums provides a great environment for riding even on the hottest of days. Mountain Bike guided rides are available, along with Mountain Bike hire through DP Riders Bike Club.
