What if the mountains could tell you a story, would you listen?

This journey through Victoria’s High Country is your chance to hear it. These are landscapes that speak — in wind-scoured peaks, in trails once used by Aboriginal people, in rivers that have carved their way through stone over millennia. The stories of the mountains are written in every turn of the path.

Leave the city behind and ascend into a world of granite tors, whispering snow gums, and cascading waterfalls. During this hiking adventure you’ll explore the most evocative corners of Mount Buffalo National Park — from the narrow stone corridors of the Chalwell Galleries to the sweeping views at Falls Lookout and the heritage charm of the Buffalo Chalet. Along the way, take in the serene beauty of Eurobin and Ladies Bath Falls, the panoramic alpine vistas from Mackeys Lookout, and the peaceful riverside paths near Bright.

Thoughtfully guided and fully supported, this alpine walk offers the joy of mountains' wild beauty. Good food, warm beds, and breathtaking trails — just bring your curiosity, join us and let the mountains do the talking to you!
