Queenstown’s Best Backcountry Trail? | Coronet Loop Trail

The Coronet Loop Trail might be the most iconic backcountry ride Queenstown has to offer. Starting behind Arrowtown and wrapping through some of the best alpine terrain in the area, it has everything that makes Queenstown riding so special, big views, exposed ridgelines, proper climbs, fast descents, and that feeling of being far away. It’s not just a trail you ride for the singletrack. It’s the full experience, the landscape, the effort, the changing terrain, and the sense of moving through the mountains. For me, this is one of the best examples of what backcountry mountain biking is all about. Does Queenstown ever let anyone down?
