Lower Thredbo Valley Trail | Bullocks Flat to Gaden Trout

This is a 3rd part of my Thredbo Valley Trail series, which will take you through the Lower Thredbo Valley Trail extension finalised by Dirt Art in October 2019.
Lower Thredbo Valley trail extends Thredbo Valley Track for further 18.4km and it begins at Bullocks Flat at 16.7km. It ends at Gaden Trout Hatchery at 35.1km where you can finish your ride or continue further towards Lake Jindabyne and join Hatchery Bay Trail towards the Jindabyne town centre.
Thredbo Valley Track is an impressive shared-use trail which will take you down the picturesque Thredbo Valley and includes five amazing suspension bridges. Meandering along the banks of the famous Thredbo River, you can enjoy open grasslands, thick eucalyptus forests and green woodlands.
New Lower Thredbo Valley Trail extension showed in the video is rated blue and it is more technical than the middle part of the trail (also rated blue), however I don't think it would be any problem for intermediate mountain biker. The only major diffuculty that I see is the large amount of climbing and uphill sections that will really challenge your fitness skills.
I wouldn't trust the profile numbers shown on the Trailforks for this trail, I would say the trail has approximately 60% downhill sections and 40% uphill.

Nice video. I did this as part of the 2021 Wild Brumby race... Yes, as you note, there is LOTS of climbing in this Lower Valley Track... just in case anyone is thinking it is all downhill. I reckon there is about 350m of singletrack ascent during the 18km. But a great ride to do.

Great videos. Which part of the Thredbo valley track is the easiest to tackle as a beginner new to mountain biking? Eg. 1,2, or 3.

[@bradrhodes3231]

1

[@teresalee8781]

Thanks. Good to know.

[@PavoMTB]

1 & 2... 3 is not very technical either in my opinion so it all depends mostly on your fitness not experience level

[@TommySkis]

Could you do muzzlewood and bullocks track?

[@PavoMTB]

Hey mate, to be honest with you I don't remember, there are lots of maps along the track

[@AaronMarkie]

How long did it take you to do each section?

[@PavoMTB]

Last section is the longest, first 2 are fast, mostly downhill. Sorry for a late response, I hope you enjoyed the trail if you had a chance to ride it
