Bright’s Hub for Two Wheels and Big Horizons
Mystic Mountain Bike Park in Bright is a must-visit for adventure lovers. Famous for its flowy forest trails, adrenaline-pumping downhill runs, and scenic paragliding launch, this park draws riders and thrill-seekers from across Australia.
The Trails
Set within pine forest just minutes from Bright’s town centre, Mystic offers trails for every rider — from gentle green loops to technical black diamond descents. The park is home to Australia’s first professional-grade pump track, as well as world-class features that regularly host mountain biking events and races.
Beyond the Bike
Mystic isn’t just for cyclists. Its summit is also the main paragliding and hang-gliding launch site in Bright, offering incredible views of the Ovens Valley. Even if you’re not taking to the skies, the lookout is worth the visit for its panoramic alpine scenery.
Best Time to Go
The park is open year-round, but spring and autumn offer the best riding conditions with cooler temperatures and grippy trail surfaces. Summer mornings are ideal for avoiding the heat, while winter brings crisp air and fewer crowds.
