A collection of the best High Country road rides has been gathered together as the 7 Peaks, creating Australia’s truest Alpine-style cycling challenge. When road cyclists eye off mountain climbs, they typically look to the High Country first. It’s then a 400m ascent on Swindler’s Spur to Derrick Hut and the finish at Mt Hotham Village. It’s a short sharp descent the next day to another campsite at Dibbins Hut (another 14km from Cope Hut), in a snow clearing beside the Cobungra River.
The Falls Creek to Wallaces Hut three-day trek offers some brilliant walking and fantastic camping.Ītop the Bogong High Plain, the three-day, 37km crossing makes a beautiful approach from Falls Creek to Wallaces Hut, one of the most evocative and photographed of all the High Country huts, before ending the day at a campsite beside Cope Hut, 14km from Falls Creek.
