If you love walking and enjoy the fresh air and scenery these Ramblers Holidays are just made for you!

On an inimitable Gourmet Guided Walking holiday across the Victorian Alps you leave the car behind and follow in the footsteps of some of the early visitors to this area(the explorers, the gold diggers and the first European settlers) as you experience a magnificent continuous guided walk across the legendary High Country of Victoria.

There is a unique 10-day itinerary which takes you, on foot, from Falls Creek to Mount Buffalo. In the past, travellers stayed in huts but on this itinerary you will stay in fabulous hotels and mountain lodges, dine on delicious cuisine and sample the wonderful wines this area has to offer. There is also a 6-day Ramblers Holiday’s itinerary which has been designed for those with less time to spare.

Escape the summer heat and breathe the mountain air of the Alpine and Mount Buffalo National Parks.

What is included in these Ramblers Holidays?

  • Services of experienced and knowledgeable guides who will look after your every need and bring this stunning area to life.
  • All meals including wine.
  • Gourmet picnic lunches each day and snacks en route.
  • Dinner in a variety of superb restaurants.
  • Support vehicle, enabling you to walk as little or as much of the trail as you please.
  • Transport to/from Albury in air-conditioned minibus.
  • Comprehensive pre-trip information.
  • Luggage transported for you so all you need to carry is a small backpack with water etc.

8 days of walking on the longer trip, including 3 optional days. 4 days walking on the summer break. Some mountainous terrain. Significant ascents/descents. Small paths and woodland tracks, unsealed roads, quiet tarmac roads. Optional easy boulder-hopping on Mount Buffalo.

The tougher days are balanced with easier days and rest days. The walking is fairly rugged in sections so sturdy walking boots, with good ankle support, are recommended. Walking poles would be an advantage, especially on steeper sections.
