Cardrona Unveil Peak to Pub & Offer Free Shuttle Transport

Visitors to Cardrona Alpine Resort this summer will now have the opportunity to mountain bike from the resort to the Cardrona Hotel with the launch of the Cardrona ‘Peak to Pub’.

Mountain bikers will now be able to ride the historic route across private land, hosted by Cardrona staff, from January 20 on every operational day. The daily ride to the Cardrona Hotel is a complimentary event down the 7km track that covers a 1,100m vertical descent.

“We listened to feedback from our guests and we’re stoked to be able to offer the Cardrona Peak to Pub. This is a fantastic ride down a track so rich in Cardrona history and we can’t wait to share it with the mountain biking community,” says Cardrona’s General Manager Bridget Legnavsky.

The Cardrona Peak to Pub is a backcountry freeride experience down the lower Cardrona Bike Park trails, joining the legendary “Persecution Road”. The road was the original Cardrona ski field access road, built by founder John Lee – without permission. The Lees were threatened with legal action by the local council for years after the road was built, which gave the road its unusual name.

Mountain bikers wishing to join the Cardrona Peak to Pub ride will need to meet Cardrona staff under the Archway in the base courtyard area at 4pm daily. The trail is a mix of single track and backcountry riding, so some experience in downhill mountain biking is essential.
