Breathe in the High Country, Exhale the Experience is much more than a motto, it’s a mantra for Romana and Kevin, partners in life and co-founders of High Country Hiking Tours.

From the summits of Mt Stirling and Mt Buller, through valleys where mountain rivers flow, across the ridges of Eagles Peaks and The Crosscut Saw they hike, visiting high country huts, knocking off summits along the way, laying their heads down for a good night’s rest in some of the most spectacular locations the High Country has to offer.

On their hikes you will visit places with the most amazing sunsets you will ever see and sunrises that take your breath away. You will walk amongst wildflower covered hillsides and breathe the freshest air.
