Mountain Biking
Purgatory Bike Park features podium-quality terrain just a chairlift ride away, and it is the only resort in the Rockies to offer clay-based soil and real dirt. Discover brand new trails within the park, and venture out to explore the over 400 miles of backcountry single track that has put Durango on the map in the mountain bike hemisphere. We’ve got something for all ability levels, even the kiddos! It’s now easier than ever to enjoy the stunning San Juans via bike!

With expert instruction and separate learning terrain areas, you can progress your downhill and/or cross-country mountain bike skills in a fun and low-risk environment, or work on tackling tougher trails and certain features. Please reserve lessons at least 24 hours in advance.
To book please email the rental shop at [email protected] or visit Cycle Works Bike Shop, located at the Village Center, 2nd floor. Walk-ins are accommodated as availability allows.
Gratuities for instructors are not a requirement, but an appropriate and appreciated gesture.
