Need to Know

The Craigieburn campsite at the bottom of the Broken River Skifield road provides a convenient base for riding the Craigieburn trail network. The short 73 Sidle Track leads from the campsite through to the Craigieburn Skifield road.

Description

The Luge can be accessed from the Craigieburn Skifield road via either The Edge or Helicopter Hill trails. The trail twists and turns through the beech forest with technical descents over roots as it descends to the Broken River Skifield road. As the name suggests, it is a good fun trail.
