HERE'S a holiday to make you feel good. Not only will you get to walk through the Victorian Alps, but you'll be supporting the Victorian Bushfire Appeal.
During this four-day Victorian Alps walking tour from ParkTrek, you will be hiking in alpine wilderness, exploring local sites, and eating out each night to support local businesses.
You will get to explore the Bogong High Plains, an expansive undulating region set at a high altitude but well within the reach of most walkers.
ParkTrek's guides will take you to Ropers Lookout for expansive views across the High Country at sunset. There will be a walk to Kelly Hut and Fitzgerald Hut for lunch before taking the relaxing stroll back along the pretty Langford Aqueduct Trail. The hike will also follow the Wallace Heritage Trail to visit picturesque Wallace Hut, the oldest hut in the High Country.
Climbing to the summit of Mt Jaitmathang is a trip highlight. The walk is steadily ascending, taking you from Pretty Valley, past Tawonga Huts and up to the summit. From here you will gain stunning 360-degree views across Mt Feathertop, Mt Hotham and beyond.
This charity walk is running from Friday 20 November to Monday November 23 and is priced from $1995.
All profits go to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal.
