🥾❄️ Winter Escape to Craigs Hut
This is winter in the raw. Three days snowshoeing through the Victorian High Country, with alpine views, backcountry trails, and a night under the stars near the iconic Craigs Hut. You’ll cover 26 km across Mt Stirling and Clear Hills with expert guides, full gear provided, and meals sorted. Expect frosty mornings, snow gums, and a serious sense of accomplishment. It’s a physically demanding hike (Grade 4), but a wildly rewarding one. Perfect for those ready to trade comfort for deep alpine immersion. Limited dates run through July and August.

🗓️ 25 July to 27 July & 22 August to 24 August 2025 📍Victorian High Country

Local Spotlight

📍Craigs Hut ❄️🏔️

Perched high on Clear Hills, Craig’s Hut is one of the most iconic spots in Victoria’s High Country—made famous by The Man from Snowy River, but loved for much more. Whether you reach it by snowshoe, hike, 4WD or helicopter, the panoramic views and rugged alpine vibe make the journey well worth it. In winter, it’s a bucket-list destination for those chasing snow gums, silence, and the kind of stillness you only find above the treeline. Pack layers, your camera, and a sense of adventure.
