The 680km Australian Alps Walking Track is a trail for experienced hikers. It generally takes 5 to 8 weeks to complete. It’s a Grade 4-5 trail that requires hikers to have highly developed navigation skills – as there are many areas that the trail is not marked. Yep, a map and compass or GPS will be necessary here!The track starts in Walhalla, Victoria and it finishes in Tharwa, ACT – however it can be walked in either direction. The Victorian section typically follows spurs and ridges, while the NSW section typically follows fire trails/tracks – so pick what you’d like to conquer first and then you’ll know which end to start at!
