Mountain Biking Zoot
#22 of 193 mountain bike trails in South Island
Zoot follows an old mining track 1.5 km down beside Coronet Peak Road. It's an advanced, often narrow, short, sweet, downhill flyer that will throw you off if you don't concentrate. There are some nice swoopy curves and some bumpy little jumps. You'll be down before you stop smiling and you'll be itching to get back to the top for another go. It's a fun trail!
Pity it's not longer but it's still one of the best of the Coronet Peak Trails.

Get a shuttle from Queenstown or drive or ride north out of town along Gorge Road through Arthurs Point and turn left up Coronet Peak Road. It ends at the base of the ski field where there are many car parks. The distance is 16 km (10 miles) and the elevation gain is 900 metres (3000 feet)
Short but very sweet! It is somewhat rutted so it demands very good balancing skills. It's below Rude Rock on the mountain so lots of riders ride one after the other with a shortish road ride in between. It's at least half a grade harder than Rude Rock because it's narrower and there is less margin for error. It is fast and demands focus.
Thank |Above all Zoot is FUN! It keeps you on your toes too. You'll be back for more...
