MTB Trail

Welcome to the New Bergsig MTB Trail

The Bergsig Mountain Bike Route is a 13-kilometer circular route with a total ascent of 270 meters that starts and ends at the Bergsig Estate wine house and tasting room.

About

The Bergsig MTB Trail offers an ideal sporting activity for the whole family where beginners and younger riders can turn off at Bobbejaandraai before the start of the more technical mountain terrain.

This scenic off-road trail snakes through the Bergsig vineyards and lower fynbos-covered mountain slopes with varied track sizes ranging from a broad Jeep road to narrower single tracks.

The day permit cost is only R20.00 per person, and a convenient SnapScan payment option with a QR-code is available at the start of the route for cyclists who wish to ride outside the normal business hours.

Our tasting room and Bistro is also available for guests to visit after their energetic off-road cycle, and our establishment is open from Mondays to Fridays between 08:00 and 17:00, and on Saturdays and public holidays from 09:00 until 16:00.

We ensure endless sporting fun for MTB enthusiasts and nature lovers and are looking forward to welcoming your guests here at Bergsig Estate.
