Great Alpine Walk

Auswalk provided a great experience. I'd definitely recommend Auswalk generally and the Victorian Alps walks in particular.

Our trip went very well. Sense of achievement in doing the longest walks on this trip to Mt Feathertop and the Falls to Hotham hike

It was difficult at times due to the flies but the company, guides and organisation was excellent. Everything was highly organised the guides were honest in the difficulty of certain walks, including how much water was required and what rating each walk was so much so that I chose to complete an easier walk on to occasions despite being an experienced walker. Some people on the group thought they were more capable than they were and didn’t carry enough water despite being told on many occasions that 2-3 litres was required. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating at all times. Thank you Bec and Georgia.

We loved this walk. The high plains were exceptional and to see Brumbies in the wild was a treat. Going to the huts and through the varied terrain was special. The walking notes were very clear and easy to follow. Overall the walk exceeded expectations

The General was a fantastic venue with excellent accommodation. Falls Creek accomm great also (small rooms with huge bed) - food was very good. Was most enjoyable to experience the varied environment, terrain and weather in a beautiful part of the country whilst hiking with dear friends. Thanks.

An amazing adventure from beginning to end. We were blessed with magnificent weather & the wildflowers were at their best as we traversed different sections of the Victorian highlands. Our walking notes were easily understood & at no time felt out of our depth, except maybe day 2, when we huffed & puffed to the top of the spur that would eventually lead us to Mount Hotham. Perfect accommodation & brilliant food & friendly service by Nelse Lodge Falls Creek set us up for the start of our trek. The General at Mount Hotham again perfect apartment, friendly & helpful staff, plus the Harrietville Hotel/Motel, we can’t say enough for these high country establishments. Very grateful to Auswalk for creating this fabulous adventure in nature including the best country hospitality one could ask for.

Our favourite day was the 5th along Razorback Ridge which was a real challenge, past the "Ancient Snowgum", Federation Hut, down a long though not unpleasant 8.5km descent, and ending up at the absolutely gorgeous town of Harrietville where we stayed for our final night in the luxury of Shady Brook Cottage. Truly a memorable trip and I'm glad we have our lovely photos to remind ourselves of the great time.

The organisation of this walk was excellent, the accommodation comfortable and the meals very good (especially Diana Lodge at Falls Creek). The walk notes were accurate and easy to follow, but tended to underestimate the time needed, the degree of up and down, and the difficulty level.

The Great Alpine Walk was very well organized. Excellent hosts and meals, and very good walking - some of which would have not been easily possible without the transfers provided. We have walked with Auswalk before and we were not disappointed with the arrangements or walking this time either.

Overall we really enjoyed the walk and will consider other Auswalk itineraries. Notes were generally excellent. Meals and packed lunches were very good. All providers were very friendly and helpful, even when disorganised. Standout was Lisa at Diana Lodge - fantastic service. Thank you

What a fabulous trip - amazing hiking country and the alpine flowers in bloom made it stunningly pretty! We loved visiting the old cattlemen huts along the way and learning about the gold mining history of the region. All the accommodation and transport arrangements worked smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about a thing! Great standard of accommodation and food along the way and the local Auswalk contacts were so friendly, helpful, and supportive and very flexible to ensure our needs were met! Their local knowledge was invaluable. We felt very well looked after! Would definitely recommend this walk!

Great Alpine Walk. My wife and I, in our late 60s, did this walk January 2021. It was awesome from all perspectives. Each day’s walking was interesting and varied, and there was a good mix of moderate as well as quite challenging walking. The accommodation and selection of hosts to look after us was first class and a real highlight of the experience. Lots of organising goes into supporting such a walk, and Auswalk made it all happen very smoothly. We were impressed by the quality of guidance material and learned a lot about the natural and human history of the region. For anyone looking for a great alternative to the usual “overseas” walking experiences, this is right up there as a “must do”. Our only question to ourselves was, “why hadn’t we done this before?”

This is a great walk, incorporating the Alpine areas in NE Victoria. None of the walk was affected by the recent bushfires in the area. Accommodation options are excellent, allowing for outback walking but comfortable accommodation and excellent meals. Don

Once again Auswalk provided us with a great experience, both in terms of the walks and the accommodation and our hosts. A big thanks to the Auswalk team who rearranged our walks to meet our changed circumstances. We enjoyed the walks and they were the right length and difficulty for us. Accommodation and meals were great and it was enjoyable to sit around chatting with our hosts and learning more about the Victorian alpine region. This was our second walk with Auswalk and we can highly recommend them.

This was my fourth AUSWALK experience and I have just booked my fifth! Threaded through all the past walks, including the one just completed, is a consistency to the commitment to quality, from pre notes, details, meals, accommodation, walking options, nightly briefings, guides and my trekking companions Invariably the accommodation has character, often with a communal lounge, where I will always be found in the evening with a book and a quiet Bundy Rum and Coke. This particular week had a character test for us all. In the middle of nowhere one of my fellow walkers has an unfortunate small trip/fall, which resulted in a most debilitating arm injury. Our guides Marie and Paul displayed much leadership in the situation, including the use of the emergency satellite phones that they carried. Much care and leadership was also shown by my trekking colleagues. Within a few hours a dozen or so SES and paramedic staff had trekked in to assist or were on hand – this community assistance makes me so proud of Australia

This is an excellent trip with stunning scenery and challenging walks. Our guides were excellent, and the accommodation was good.

My wife and I just completed the guided version of this tour with 14 other walkers and two wonderful guides, Paul and Marie Killeen. This is a sometimes-challenging week of walks suitable for the avid hiker, with mostly-full days exploring some long (and occasionally steep) stretches of Victoria's beautiful high country. Easy options accommodate those walkers who need a break from the harder stretches. We are repeat Auswalks walkers for a reason: consistently outstanding experiences. A fantastic package, delivered with passion and personal attention by guides who clearly love their work and connecting with their clients.

In mid March, my husband and I walked the Great Alpine Walk in Victoria's High Country. This inn-to-inn walk saw us stay at the Diane Alpine Lodge at Falls Creek, an apartment at Hotham and Dinner Plain and a cute BnB in Harrietville. All of the accomodation, meals, track notes and hosts were fabulous. The walk was strenuous in some parts, but amazing. We saw wil brumbies on day three. Auswalks is a great organisation to walk with.

I recently did this walk with a small group of five plus two guides. Our guides, Marie and Paul did a fantastic job and really went out of their way to ensure we all had a positive experience as well as having options available which suited our abilitiy and needs at all times. The countryside was glorious and all in all I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and was disappointed when it was over.

7 day walk of Victorian Alps Australia. Organised by Auswalks. Accommodation, Food, Local Transport of self's and lugage all exceptional!

The Great Alpine Walk by Auswalks traverses spectacular country in the Victorian Alps. Every phase of the organisation of the walk by Auswalks was faultless. The booking staff were always friendly and helpful, even when we changed our plan midway to skip our rest day. The accommodation and hosts were fantastic in the Alpine region. It was just so relaxing to walk at our own pace with all the details taken care of and fantastic notes to guide us along the way.

My mum, sister and I did the self guided Great Alpine Walk just before Easter. The walk is a selection of stunning tracks across the Vic Alps. Aside from the walk being brilliant - Aus walks were amazing to deal with. Everything, at every stage was managed expertly. Booking the trip was painless. The accommodation and hosts were delightful. The food was excellent (not 'basic' as it was sometimes described in the notes, perhaps 'rustic' is a better term!). Can recommend highly enough!

We have have just completed 7 days in the Victorian Alps with Auswalk. Our first Auswalk experience; interestingly 11 out of 14 participants were returning clients. A superb week of scenic walks. Ratings would be 10 out of 10 all round. Our guides Marie & Lisa were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and worked so well together. We had confidence in their outdoor skills, their driving and all round management. Accommodation and meals were excellent. We look forward to more Auswalks in the future. Excellent value for money. A huge thank you Marie & Lisa and Auswalk for a very memorable week. We were lucky to also have very congenial walking companions and good weather. Brian & Julie Moore. Brisbane.

Completed the tour in the last exit before the winter season. Very good route and accommodation was excellent with very good hosts. Variable terrain from day to day - and wild brumbies rambling on the Bogong Plain.

Great walk. A little tough in places for 71 year olds (Swindler's Spur). The organisation (taxi, transfer of luggage, accommodation, dinners, lunches etc) were all excellent with very friendly and attentive staff. Would recommend Auswalk to anyone contemplating a hassle free adventure.
