SHORT WALKS & DAY HIKES
Unforgettable Walks
Dinner Plain is the gateway to Victoria's High Country with hundreds of kilometers of hiking and walking trails extending to the furthest reaches of the Alpine National Park. From epic treks to easy strolls, there is an experience for everyone. When the snow melts, the National Park becomes a spectacular display of native alpine wildflowers set against sweeping mountain vistas. Within just a few kilometres, Dinner Plain's tracks and trails lead to historic mountain huts, spring-fed waterfalls and sheer rockfaces etched into the landscape.
At the heart of it all is the magnificent alpine village of Dinner Plain, with all of the luxuries and comforts to make a High Country experience truly spectacular.
Before You Walk
Dinner Plain's tracks and trails are open year-round, but the best time of year to hike them tends to be from November to April. During winter many remain under snow and some can be accessed by cross country skis or snowshoes.
