GENERAL INFO
This is a circuit trip starting and finishing in Melbourne. The Grampians walks and tracks vary a lot. Many are rough and rocky underfoot and on these tracks, we will walk slower and cover less distance than on other trips.
The tracks vary in quality but all are easily passable. There are some opportunities for more eager walkers to challenge themselves, but the main walks are all moderate, bar the Mount Rosea day where the grading just scrapes in as moderate, due to some challenging sections.
This trip operates with two knowledgeable engaging guides so we can offer easier and harder walk options along the way.
Pre and post tour accommodation: There are many good hotels in Melbourne, however we pick up and drop off at one central hotel the Alto Hotel, 636 Bourke Street. The tour starts at the Alto at 9.20am and the airport at 10.00am. The trip finishes in Melbourne around 1.00pm on the last day.
