Moderate-challenging walks
A classic lodge accommodated alpine walking tour. |
|
| |
|
Press Release: The Australian Alps has just been
included on the National Heritage List recognising the
outstanding natural, indigenous and historic values of
this iconic landscape. |
Walking on the roof of Victoria with a lovely balance of short and half day walks, although the highlight is a challenging full day walk to Victoria's second highest peak, Mt. Feathertop (1992m).
Wander across alpine meadows with summer wildflowers at your feet, enjoy the stately snowgums, sculptured by the wind and from lofty peaks- gaze across a sea of mountains.
The superb ridge-top walk along the Razorback to the summit of Mt. Feathertop and return is tackled as a long day walk (22km), so you do need to be fit. Alpine National Park walking at its best.
Carry only a light day pack on this and other walks as our overnight accommodation is in a cosy ski lodge at Dinner Plain Village.
Add some interesting local history especially around Omeo and a visit to a boutique winery and you have a really memorable walking holiday.
