Australian Alps Walking Track: Kosciuszko to Hotham (16 Days)

Tackle the rugged middle third of the Australian Alps Walking Track. Explore the Cobberas Wilderness, visit the source of the Murray River, and summit Victoria’s highest peaks (Mt Bogong and Mt Feathertop).

Overview

Bridging the gap between the Snowy Mountains and the Victorian Alps, the middle third of the 680km Australian Alps Walking Track (AAWT) takes you through a wilderness landscape largely untouched by modern life. This journey ventures deep into the heart of the High Country, offering a rare solitude found only in the most inaccessible corners of Victoria and New South Wales.

Cross the source of the Murray River, visit historic huts, and tackle a traverse of the Bogong High Plains. There are plenty of peaks to summit, including Mt Bogong and Mt Feathertop – Victoria’s highest mountains.

Beyond the physical journey, this trip is an immersive learning experience. Our expert guides are dedicated to helping you level up your bushwalking skills. Refine your gear systems, master hiking nutrition, and practice off-track navigation. This trip is your chance to build the toolkit needed for future adventures, whether that’s a local multi-day loop or an international thru hike.
