GPT E2E - 13 Days

The GPT E2E expedition is not for the faint-hearted. It’s 13 days on the trail that will test your stamina and resolve with every peak and turn opening a new view that will inspire you to keep going.

This expedition will cover the entire length of the GPT from north to south, walking every day. With the exception of the 4th night in Halls Gap, we’ll stay in the on-trail hiker camps in lightweight hiking tents experiencing for ourselves the constantly changing personality of the Gariwerd Landscape.

Over the course of the expedition, we will witness numerous changes to the environment, experience different levels of remote access and gain an in-depth understanding of the land. The northern and central sections of the trail have relatively good access and amazing facilities at campsites, while the wild central section is much more remote with limited access and shelter leaving you more exposed to the will of the mountains.

We'll begin our journey at the main GPT Trailhead at Mount Zero, climb Mount Staypleton and then continue southward for 13 days along the spine of Gariwerd until we reach Dunkeld. Each night at our hiker camps, we will rest, enjoy a freshly cooked trail meal and sleep under a blanket of stars. No matter your level of hiking experience, our passionate local team will be on hand to guide and support you through this journey exploring their backyard.

Who is this program for?

Our GPT E2E Expedition is for keen hikers that are looking to complete the entire Grampians Peaks Trail in a single continuous journey - multiple days, start to finish without leaving the trail - while enjoying the benefits of walking with and learning from an experienced local guide and with a lighter load on their back. While we take care of all the group equipment (cooking equipment, food etc) you will need to be capable of carrying your personal clothing and sleeping bag, approximately 10-12 kgs. Over the course of the expedition, there will be 2 opportunities to have a bag of fresh clothing swapped in/out to reduce the load you need to carry.

If you are looking for a slightly shorter trip or are keen to complete the entire GPT over a number of visits, check out our Expedition programs.

If you like the idea of a shorter multi-day expedition but prefer the idea of a real bed over a tent, check out our Northern Huts Walks!

If you like creature comforts like a hot shower at the end of each day and walking pack free - check out our Grampians Luxe programs!
