THE Falls Creek Mountain Bike Park and its trails in all their glory reopened for the first time this year on Friday.

Traditionally, it would have opened in late November with 'Ignition' - the signature mountain bike festival that marks the beginning of the riding season.

However, with the disappointment of having to cancel the event, the trail crew has worked overtime to prepare the trails early.

This was also aided by an unusually low snow season, which meant they could start clearing the fallen trees and debris sooner due to early snow melt.

The park itself is 40-kilometres of world class gravity trails, designed and built by World Trail.

It is a showcase of gravity and flow in beautiful alpine terrain.

Falls Creek Resort Management marketing and communications manager, Sarah Watt, encouraged riders to come and try.

“As well as hitting our world class trails riders can visit Rocky Valley Lake to take in the view of Australia’s highest body of water and enjoy activities such as fishing, swimming or kayaking,” she said.

“Go on a hike, or ride, to one of the beautiful alpine huts, enjoy a sunset picnic on Mt McKay or just spend some time wandering our arts and culture trail.

“Falls Creek has plenty of great accommodation options and if you appreciate local food and drink, there is a choice of delicious cafes, restaurants and bars open to appease your appetite after a big day of activities.”

The Blue Dirt Mountain Bike shuttles and resort-based bike hire will open on November 20 but until then riders will need to bring their own bike.

Ms Watt said the trails have been built with the rider in mind and are accessible to the newest of bikers and enticing to the most experienced.

Regional Victorians and border residents can visit now.

Falls Creek will welcome back Melburnians on November 9 and interstate guests when the time is right.
