Ignition Mountain Bike Festival

The Ignition Mountain Bike Festival is a high-energy celebration of bikes, trails, and alpine culture held each November at the renowned Falls Creek resort in Victoria’s High Country. Designed as the ultimate season-opener for mountain bikers, Ignition brings together riders of all levels for a weekend of flowy singletrack, group rides, demo bikes, and good times both on and off the trails. With cool mountain air and a relaxed vibe, it’s the perfect way to kick off the summer riding season.

At the heart of Ignition is the extensive Falls Creek mountain bike park, known for its stunning alpine scenery and handcrafted trails. Whether you’re into gravity runs, long scenic descents, or just cruising with mates, the event caters to all styles. There are guided rides, shuttle services, and plenty of opportunities to test the latest bikes and gear from top brands. It’s not a race—it’s a ride, and the focus is firmly on fun, progression, and community.

Off the trails, the village atmosphere comes alive with food trucks, craft beer, live music, and fire pits to keep the chill at bay. Riders and spectators mingle, share stories, and enjoy the laid-back festival feel that makes Ignition more than just a bike event—it’s a weekend escape with a soul. Whether you’re rolling solo, with your crew, or bringing the family, there’s something for everyone.

Ignition is all about celebrating the ride culture that’s unique to the Australian Alps. It’s where trail stoke meets mountain magic, and whether you’re shredding switchbacks or sipping a cold one post-ride, you’ll feel right at home in the Falls Creek community. This is not just the start of the riding season—it’s a highlight of it.
