FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about shuttles? Explore our FAQs
Can I book a private shuttle for my group?
Yes! Please contact the Bike Glendhu team directly to arrange private shuttle bookings or group uplift options.
How do I choose between van vs Can‑Am shuttle?
- Opt for the van shuttle if you’re riding lower to mid-mountain loops or prefer a more basic transport option.
- Upgrade to the Can‑Am Shuttle for a faster, premium lift to mid- or upper-mountain zones, ideal for accessing the park’s most scenic descents.
Is there a shuttle suitable for families or beginner riders?
Yes—the Jack’s Spot Van Shuttle provides easy access to Lower Mountain trails, ideal for families, intermediate riders, and groups wanting a convenient shuttle option.
How long do unlimited shuttle sessions last?
The Unlimited Can‑Am Shuttle runs in 2‑ or 3‑hour blocks, giving riders freedom to lap as much as they like.
Do I need a park pass to use the shuttle?
Yes—all shuttle riders must hold a valid Bike Glendhu park pass. Shuttle tickets cover transport only and don’t include trail access.
Where can I buy shuttle tickets?
Shuttle rides—including single, multi, and session options—can be booked online via this Shuttles page under each product listing. Walk-up availability at Base 334 may apply but availability isn’t guaranteed.
Are there multi-ride discounts?
Yes! We offer a 10-ride van shuttle pass—great for regular visitors or groups wanting repeat lifts without extra queue times.
Can I take a shuttle to the top of Bike Glendhu?
Yes—the Can‑Am Shuttle Boost can take you all the way to Falcon’s Nest, Bike Glendhu’s summit hub. From there, drop into iconic descents like Dark Matter or Upper Baywatch with epic alpine views.
When do shuttles run?
Our shuttle programme is only available on weekends and holidays (including 22 Dec – 25 Jan). For group bookings we can endeavour to extend this to the weekdays based on availability. Get in touch and we will see what we can do!
Can I ride the shuttle more than once in a session?
Yes! If you’re keen to rack up multiple laps, there are a couple of great options:
- For van shuttles to Jack’s Spot, you can purchase individual rides or grab a 10-Ride Van Shuttle Pass—perfect for locals or anyone planning to ride regularly.
- For maximum access, the Unlimited Can‑Am Shuttle Sessions let you ride as many laps as you can fit into a 2- or 3-hour session.
Both options offer great value for repeat runs and are available to book online or at Base 334.
What types of shuttle services are available at Bike Glendhu?
Bike Glendhu offers three distinct shuttle options:
- Jack’s Spot Van Shuttle: A one-way ride from Base 334 to Jack’s Spot, ideal for riders looking to skip the lower climb and access mid-mountain trails quickly. Great for families or warming up before heading higher.
- Can‑Am Shuttle Boost: A single premium uplift in a Can‑Am vehicle to Falcon’s Nest (the summit), saving your legs for the descents.
- Unlimited Can‑Am Shuttle Sessions: Ride the trails as many times as you want during a 2- or 3-hour session. Perfect for high-volume laps and riders who want to make the most of their day.
All shuttle options require a valid Bike Glendhu park pass and can be booked online.
