Full Description

This 6-day cycle tour is ideal for those seeking a little more adventure than the usual cycle trail experience, but with luxury accommodation and bespoke dining to revitalise you after your days in the saddle.

Starting and finishing in Christchurch, your first mode of transport will be the scenic TransAlpine train to Arthur's Pass village. The ride from here is mainly on gravel roads, private farm tracks, and some sealed roads. There are some hills to climb, but the majority of the route is gently undulating, rather than steep ups and downs, and we have planned the days to allow plenty of time for each ride.

Starting and finishing in Christchurch, your first mode of transport will be the scenic TransAlpine train to Arthur's Pass village. The ride from here is mainly on gravel roads, private farm tracks, and some sealed roads. There are some hills to climb, but the majority of the route is gently undulating, rather than steep ups and downs, and we have planned the days to allow plenty of time for each ride.

Our accommodation is a variety of luxurious lodges, hotels, and even a secretive musterers' hut, beautifully renovated and tucked away on a merino station dwarfed by the surrounding landscape. Throw into the mix an exhilarating jet boat transfer, and you’ve got a small but perfectly formed Escape Adventures cycle tour. This is a supported loop tour, so you can ride the Canterbury Peaks to Plains Cycle Tour knowing that we have got your back!
