New Zealand's mountains provide ideal snowboarding and skiing in winter, whereas during the warm season they turn into a perfect cycling setting. The most amazing tracks lie through Queenstown area, Craigieburn Forest, ancient Hamilton forests, in particular, the famous Timber Trail with its suspension bridges, also Rimutaka Trail located in the Wellington region, Alps 2 Ocean Trail running around a number of glacial lakes, and the challenging Old Ghost trail. The best time for biking is a snowless period that is variable but usually stretches from November to April.
