Blue Tier

Located in temperate rainforest in North-East Tasmania, the Blue Derby Mountain Bike trails encompass some of the most stunning landscapes in Tasmania.

Not far from St Helens, the Blue Tier is a sub-alpine plateau which boasts world class mountain bike trails and a large range of walks through stunning native forests. The tiny village of Weldborough is one of the closest towns to the Blue Tier. If driving through the town it is worth visiting the historic Weldborough Hotel. This quaint country pub serves hearty meals using locally sourced produce and boasts an impressive range of Tasmanian beers and ciders on tap.
Location
The Blue Tier Forest Reserve is 32km north west of St Helens and is approximately a 45 minutes drive.
