Entry INFO
Affordable Entry Fees
As a business, we understand that in the current financial climate not all familiies are in the position to pay the high entry fees that an event like this can attract and we also have a desire to make our events accessible to as many people as possible.
This is why we work hard to keep our overheads as low as possible while still delivering a professionally run event that includes all the bells and whistles, with a lot of 'heart' thrown in. As well as working hard to keep the basic cost of entry affordable we also offer entry specials, family discounts and student discounts.
In2Adventure is proud to be an Australian owned and managed company hosting events in the Snowies for over 10 years and we hope we have the opportunity to welcome you along to create some treasured memories with us.
ONE DAY HALF PRICE STAGE RACE ENTRY SALE - THURS 5 JULY
SNOWY MOUNTAINS, NSW – The country’s most iconic Mountain Bike Stage Race event returns to the spectacular Snowy Mountains from 9-11 February 2024! And, as a bonus, riders will have the opportunity to enter the 3-day stage race with a MASSIVE One Day HALF PRICE Sale. And it all kicks off this Thursday 6th July.
With mother nature at her breathtaking best here’s your chance to ride this iconic destination with those who know and love Australia’s high country.
IT'S LUXURY & ATMOSPHERE ALL THE WAY!
Start and finish your journey at our host resort Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa nestled in the Snowy Mountains heartland. Yes, your journey will be a hardcore adventure but before and after it’s luxury all the way with all the facilities you’d expect at one of the country’s most beloved 4.5 star resorts. And it’s an even better base for all your family and friends who’ll be there to cheer you on.
YOUR ULTIMATE MTB HIGH!
And now we’ve got your race base sorted, get ready for an endorphin overload as you head out onto your ultimate MTB high.
Each stage has its own unique high-country character and terrain and includes the perfect mix of fast flowing single track, downhill descents, undulated climbs, techy challenges and groomed trails including a good helping of vertical climbing and descending. If riding up hills and barrelling down descents at full speed tickles your fancy, it’s time to saddle up and immerse yourself in the Snowies High Country.
AND THE KICKER… a one off chance to ride the FULL LENGTH of the iconic Thredbo Valley Track on CLOSED TRAILS.
This legendary trail is a MUST DO on your MTB bucket list and Stage 3 Snowies Legends Descent is the only time you can experience, without interruption, the pure elation of 42km of sheer Mountain Bike heaven from top to bottom.
Throughout the stages, immerse yourself in the Thredbo Valley as you traverse the banks of the Thredbo River on super fun trails that climb and descend on an epic high-country roller-coaster ride. Ride the trails overlooking Lake Jindabyne, take in the snow gum forests pierced by crystal clear mountain streams as well as Alpine meadows and granite outcrops. And even race our very own ‘Man from Snowy River’ on the trail network from Lake Crackenback Resort, the launchpad to some of the world’s best rideable terrain.
Forget the tarmac and gravel, this is unadulterated mountain bike heaven in the heart of the Snowies.
A STAGE RACE... WITH EPIC RIDING... BUT, NO LABORIOUS TRAVEL OR MOVING?
That’s right you asked, and the Snowies have delivered. This world class riding is all within a 18km radius. And, for stages away from the resort there’s a bus to transport you and your bike the 10 minutes to your destination. So, you, your family and your mates can just sit back and enjoy the atmos’ and mountain air.
