OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
Few places in Australia offer such a diversity of pristine scenery and hiking options as the Victorian Alps. This self-guided walking holiday traverses striking landscapes of alpine forests, grassland, snow-blanketed mountains, precipitous ridges and high plains. The alpine hiking trails cover some of the most spectacular sections of the 700km Alpine Walking Track from Walhalla to Canberra.
With each breath of fresh alpine air, the stresses of modern life will slowly be left behind. Take in dramatic views from the breathtaking Razorback Ridge to Mt Feathertop, the second highest peak in Victoria. The walk from Falls Creek to Hotham via the Cobungra Valley, Derrick Hut and Dibbins Hut is not only epic but provides a real sense of accomplishment. Importantly, there are additional short walks in the area for those who would like to do more exploring.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Dramatic views from the breathtaking Razorback Ridge to Mt Feathertop, the second highest peak in Victoria
- Stunning alpine hiking trails
- Discover and explore historic cattlemen huts along the way
- Opportunity to see wild brumbies
- Challenge of tackling Mt Tabletop
ITINERARY
DAY one
BRIGHT AND WALK ALONG OVENS RIVER & FALLS CREEK
Start in Bright any time before 4.00 pm. There’s no walking scheduled for today, however, there is a nice walk along the Ovens River that passes through the middle of town. If you arrive early enough, you’ll also have time to explore the small township of Bright. We will arrange for you to be met in Bright and be driven to Falls Creek where you will stay tonight. If you have driven your own vehicle, you can leave it at Bright. We will pick you up from there and take you to Falls Creek.
Accommodation: Falls Creek in rooms with ensuites
Meals: None
DAY two
PRETTY VALLEY VIA COPES AND WALLACE'S HUT TO LANGFORD GAP
The walk begins from Pretty Valley on the Alpine Plain and traverses the Falls to Hotham track to Langford Gap. You also walk the Aqueduct Trail, which connects one of Australia’s early hydroelectricity schemes. The Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric scheme was built between the 1930s and 50s. Mountain cattlemen’s huts feature prominently on this holiday and today you’ll visit the oldest in Victoria – Wallace’s Hut. The ancient snow gum trees here are twisted and gnarled by centuries of harsh winters. After rain or fog, these tree trunks change colour to brilliant shades of red, orange, yellow and green. After lunch, walk along the southern edge of Rocky Valley Dam, before climbing to Falls Creek ski resort.
Walking: Easy to Moderate / 13.7km / 3 – 4 hrs
Meals: Breakfast and Walkers Lunch
Accommodation: Falls Creek in rooms with ensuites
DAY three
ROPER LOOKOUT AND HUTS WALK TO FALLS CREEK
An easier walking day, following more alpine hiking trails along an aqueduct track and crossing gently graded snow plains. All the walking terrain yesterday and today provide superb cross-country skiing during winter. The day ends with a trek to the summit of a small peak with a fine view over Falls Creek and the Kiewa Valley before strolling along another aqueduct trail back to the village.
Walking: Moderate to challenging / 25.5km / 6 – 7 hrs / shortening this walk is possible
Meals: Breakfast and Walkers Lunch
Accommodation: Falls Creek in rooms with ensuites
DAY four
FALLS CREEK TO HOTHAM
Follow a section of the Alpine Walking Track (750 km between Walhalla and Canberra) all the way to Mt Hotham. Very few people have done this bushwalk, even amongst the locals. You certainly won’t see many people out here, in fact, you are more likely to see Brumbies, Australia’s iconic wild horses. Along the way, drop steeply down to the Cobungra River and Dibbins Hut (sometimes also called Creep-Inn – you’ll see why), then back through the Mt Hotham alpine ski village. Skiers flock to Hotham for its powder snow. It is easy to see how the surrounding steep valleys would provide protection from strong winter winds, allowing snow to settle gently into deep drifts.
Walking: Challenging / 20.6km / 6–7 hrs
Meals: Breakfast, Walkers Lunch and two-course dinner
Accommodation: Hotham Alpine Village in rooms with ensuites
DAY five
DINNER PLAIN VIA MOUNT TABLETOP TO HOTHAM
Today’s alpine hiking trail meanders through snow gum forests and across thick snowgrass plains, with many spring wildflowers. The standard 12 km track from Dinner Plain, the highest freehold land in Australia, to Hotham is easy, but you can also add an optional 10 km return walk to the aptly named Mt Tabletop. You can build anything you like in Dinner Plain, so long as it resembles a cattleman’s hut. Cattle grazed these plains until recently, and you’ll see historic huts and even some cattle yards made by felling trees into piles.
Walking: Moderate / 12km or 22km / 3 or 5.5–7 hours / optional 10km short walk available
Meals: Cooked breakfast, Walkers Lunch and two-course dinner
Accommodation: Hotham Alpine Village in rooms with ensuites
DAY six
HOTHAM VIA THE RAZORBACK AND MOUNT FEATHERTOP
After an early start, you’ll be transferred to the breathtaking Razorback Ridge, surely one of the most dramatic walking routes in Australia. As you walk along the track, Mt Feathertop gradually looms more and more impressively. The final optional steep climb to the summit is wonderful. It affords views all the way to Mount Bogong and over the whole Alpine Mountain Range.
Walking: Moderate to Challenging / 21km or 22.5km/ 7–8 hrs / optional shorter walk available
Meals: Cooked breakfast and Walkers Lunch
Accommodation: Hotham Alpine Village in rooms with ensuites
DAY seven
PRIVATE TRANSFER BACK TO BRIGHT
The trip ends after breakfast when you will be transferred back to Bright to either your vehicle or public transport connections.

GENERAL INFO
This Great Alpine Walk starts and finishes in Bright. It’s a 5-hour drive from Melbourne, with public transport services available from the city. Contact us for more details.
This is one of the more challenging inn-to-inn walks. The terrain on the alpine hiking trails is sometimes undulating, some up and down, but with plenty of flat sections along well-marked trails. Rougher tracks progress along with gradual ascents to the summits for spectacular views, then down steeper downhill sections through snow gums to forested valleys below.
You’ll be walking an average of 17 km a day over five days. Those that enjoy the solitude of nature will appreciate some days where you are probably more likely to see deer and wild horses than other walkers.
There are five walking days on this seven-day itinerary, starting in Bright and ending in the village of Hotham. We include accommodation from day one to day six, including breakfast each morning, lunch each walking day and 2 dinners, transfers and comprehensive trip notes and walking maps. We transfer your luggage to the next accommodation so you can focus on enjoying the walking with just your daypack and what you need for the day.
Not included: alcohol, meals not listed in the itinerary, drinks with meals (except tea/coffee and juice with breakfast).
WEATHER
This walk can be done any time from the start of December to 20th April. This mountain environment is about 10–15 degrees cooler than Melbourne and Sydney, and there is a possibility of bad weather even during summer. January and February are usually warm and the alpine wildflowers are at their best. December and March are usually mild and considered by many people to be the best times to visit.
See the Bureau of Meteorology’s information about average temperatures and rainfall at different times of the year.
INSURANCE
We require that you have adequate travel insurance against potential losses, damage or injury, including cancellation costs and loss of luggage.
For all trips that require international travel, you must have purchased travel insurance that also includes medical evacuation coverage.
We also charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your walking holiday after we have confirmed it to cover costs incurred from our suppliers and in the office. See the FAQ section for more information.
INFORMATION PACK
For nearly 30 years we have taken pride in providing seamlessly organised walking holidays, but we know, even with that in mind, that you’ll have many more questions. You will receive a very detailed information pack and itinerary approximately 6 weeks out from departure outlining all the fine detail and much more.

If you have any questions about the Great Alpine Walk, feel free to ask one of our destination consultants. You can get in touch with us via our contact form, or email us at info@stroll.com
