Greyton trails: A network built the right way

The Greyton trails didn’t just appear overnight. They’re the result of years of vision, sweat and community effort by local riders who believed this area deserved world class mountain biking. What started as a handful of routes has grown into a purpose built trail network that respects the land, rewards commitment, and keeps riders coming back for more.

The Routes:serious variety, serious fun

Greyton’s trails cater to riders who want real mountain biking – not manicured bike park laps, but immersive country style riding with flow and technicality where it matters.

authentic rider built trails with +- 60km of single track across our complete network

trails range from rolling, fast flowing sections to steep, technical climbs and descents

massive single track value in a compact area with routes that can be linked into short punchy rides or full day suffer fests

challenging but rewarding terrain that changes constantly: fynbos lined traverses, forested pockets, rocky ridge lines, and jeep track through farm lands with open mountain views

Whether you’re chasing speed, endurance, or that quiet moment at the top of a climb where everything hurts just enough, there’s a trail here for you.

Elevation that earns the descents

With around 1500m of elevation gain across the network, Greyton is not a ‘free speed’ destination – and that’s exactly the point. You work for your descents here. Long climbs test pacing and grit but the payoff is worth it with flowing single track, natural features, and views that remind you why you ride mountain bikes in the first place.

Greyton isn’t only about ticking Strava boxes, but also about the rider experience, the connection to nature and the satisfaction of finishing something you’ve started.

Whether you’re a local rider, a weekend warrior from Cape Town, or a travelling mountain biker looking for something special, the Greyton MTB Trail network offers a raw, honest riding experience that sticks with you long after the dust settles.

The Routes:From relaxed family rides to full blooded mountain challenges, Greyton’s routes are clearly graded and marked (see table).
