Great Alpine Walk 6 Day – Self-Guided
Highlights
- Trek over spectacular ridgelines and enjoy breathtaking views from Razorback Ridge and Mt Feathertop.
- Breathe in fresh alpine air while wandering through valleys packed with majestic Mountain Ash and high alpine forests.
- Immerse yourself in nature with a rest day at Dinner Plain, offering a variety of shorter walks.
- Soak your feet in the Ovens River after a rewarding descent through stunning Mountain Ash forest.
This self-guided independent walk has you trek over spectacular ridgelines, through valleys packed tight with Mountain Ash, high alpine forests and grassland and past snow-capped mountains. The sheer diversity of landscape and the glorious views as the track winds its way from Falls Creek via Hotham, Dinner Plain to Harrietville are just some of the highlights.
Breath in the fresh alpine air as you take in the dramatic views from the breathtaking Razorback Ridge and Mt Feathertop. Climb the second highest peak in Victoria. The hike from Falls Creek to Mount Hotham via the Cobungra Valley is probably one of the best hikes the Alps has to offer and provides a real sense of accomplishment.
The descent through stunning Mountain Ash forest as you walk down to Harrietville and soaking your feet in the Ovens River is a fine way to end this walk. For those people that want to immerse themselves further in the Victorian Alps, we recommend taking a rest day at Dinner Plain as there are stacks of shorter walks in the area.

Auswalk Walking Holidays
The highlights of an Auswalk walking holiday go far beyond exploring the iconic landmarks that you are going to experience on the track.
Auswalk allows you to discover Australia’s greatest landscapes in comfort. You will be carrying only a day pack as your luggage is transferred on to your next accommodation while you progress along the track. Arrive each evening to your next comfortable accommodation, ready to enjoy another display of the local produce. Rest assured that a wine list will also never be too far away.
On group guided trips you will travel with a group of like-minded people, accompanied by two professional guides allowing for the flexibility of easier and harder walk options.
For the ultimate adventure and flexibility Auswalk’s self guided inn-to-inn trips allow you to walk any day in the season, with your own group of two or more people. You will still enjoy their full support as you progress along the track from one accommodation to the next with luggage transfers, marked maps and detailed walk notes.
