  Australian Walking Track Grading System

  Please note – some walks are highly weather dependent due to the region’s exposed alpine environment, and your guides may choose to alter the itinerary accordingly where necessary. They will always strive to provide the most scenic walks possible based around the local conditions.

  *Walking times and distances may be adapted to the weather and groups needs based on guides discretion.

  Each day we also provide fruit, snacks, tea and coffee and a nibbles platter.

  Each evening after our days walking, we return back to our accommodation for some time to refresh and enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Cradle Valley. Your guides will curate a beautiful nibbles platter for you, providing the perfect setting for a relaxing evening. During this time, they will also conduct a briefing, offering insights into the days experiences and outlining your upcoming adventures. Using a map of the area, your guides will illustrate the various regions and walks we are set to explore in the days ahead.
