Winter Escape to Craig’s – 3 Days

On this hike you will enjoy beautiful Alpine Ash forests, majestic Snow Gums, breathtaking views and high country huts, including Craig’s Hut, which was a movie set built especially for the film “The Man from Snowy River” in 1982 and was named after the family that lived there. Today it’s one of Victoria’s most iconic places to visit.

This is a true winter adventure that will take you from well maintained cross country ski trails of Mt Stirling to the backcountry trails of the Victorian High Country.

You will enjoy three days of guided snowshoe hiking around the beautiful Mt Stirling and Clear Hills and spend two nights at the same campsite at King Spur Hut. This means that on Day 2, when heading over to Craig’s Hut, you will only need to carry a daypack.

However, if you would like to spend the second night camping at Craig’s Hut, we can accommodate that as long as there are at least two participants.

This adventure is physically and mentally demanding, therefore requires good level of fitness and mental strength. You will be required to wear snowshoes and carry an overnight backpack. The backpack will weigh between 21 to 25kg. You will also need warm, waterproof winter clothing.

• Three days of guided snowshoe hiking with an experienced guide
