The Great Victorian Alpine Walk is a pack free guided journey through the spectacular alpine landscapes of Victoria’s High Country, centred around Falls Creek and the Bogong High Plains. Located around 380 kilometres northeast of Melbourne, this region is known for its diverse natural beauty, from towering snow gums and granite outcrops to colourful alpine meadows and sweeping mountain ridges. Each step along the trail reveals something unique, whether it’s the delicate wildflowers in bloom, panoramic views from summits like Mount Jaithmathang, or the enduring stories of early cattle graziers who once called these plains home.
Walkers visit some of the region’s oldest huts, such as Wallaces Hut and Cope Hut, both significant for their rustic architecture and cultural heritage. The experience also includes historical tales of Indigenous pathways and the development of the Hydro-Electric Power Scheme. With knowledgeable guides sharing insights and carefully selected accommodation at the serene St Falls Resort, each day is a balance of discovery and comfort.
Meals are another highlight, with hot breakfasts, gourmet packed lunches, and fine dining each evening showcasing local Victorian produce. Designed for walkers of varied fitness levels, this tour offers flexible distances and private transfers, ensuring an enjoyable and accessible experience for all. The journey ends not with fanfare, but with a sense of calm, connection, and appreciation for Australia’s alpine heart.

The order of your itinerary, including accommodation, tours, and transport, may be adjusted to secure the best availability and ensure a smooth travel experience.

For bookings made well in advance and outside of peak seasons, itinerary changes are uncommon. Any adjustments will be communicated to you in advance and are made with the aim of maintaining or improving the overall experience.
