Late Autumn Magic on the Otago Central Rail Trail 🚲

There’s something truly special about riding the Rail Trail in late autumn. The cool, often frosty mornings give way to stunning clear days — perfect for soaking in the big sky country that surrounds you.
With fewer people on the trail, you’ll feel like you have it all to yourself — just you, the crisp air, and the spectacular scenery. Think golden autumn hues, snow-capped mountains in the distance, and peaceful silence interrupted only by the hum of your wheels.

Whether you're going self-guided or booking through a local tour operator, now's the time to plan ahead. Tour operators can offer helpful seasonal tips and local insights, and if you're riding independently, be sure to book accommodation and meals in advance — many spots operate on reduced hours this time of year.
Autumn on the trail is quiet, stunning, and unforgettable. Ready to ride?
