Mountain biking
Wellington is a mountain biker’s paradise and students can experience this first-hand while achieving a high-quality tertiary education.
Wellington is a mountain biking paradise and our University is a preferred destination for tertiary student mountain bikers. Partnering with Wellington’s mountain biking (MTB) industry and community, we are committed to supporting our recreational and performance riders alike.
“Choosing to stay in Wellington has been the best decision for my riding. I can be in lectures all morning and the trails half an hour later. The vibe in the mountain biking community is addictive!”
—Second year student, Victoria University of Wellington
