Alpine National Park Information

The Alpine National Park is Victoria's largest and protects our highest mountains and varied alpine environments. With adjoining national parks in NSW and the ACT, it forms an area that protects almost all of Australia's high country. Extensive snowfields are the primary winter attraction, while warmer months bring stunning wildflower displays and bushwalks and four wheel driving. The 655 kilometre Australian Alps Walking Track traverses the Alps from Walhalla to Canberra. Australia's Alps are vitally important as a source of water in our dry continent. Most of the major rivers of south-eastern Australia have their sources there. The Alpine National Park has the greatest range of flora and fauna of any national park in Victoria. Things to Do * Scenic 2WD tours along the Great Alpine Road * Four-wheel driving. NOTE: Some tracks are closed seasonally to protect the environment * Walking, from short strolls to the Australian Alps Walking Track. WARNING: Ensure you are prepared for sudden weather changes on any walk. For more information on walking in the Australian Alps go to www.remotetech.com.au/bushwalk * Commercial tour operators offer a variety of activities such as horse riding, canoeing, rafting, or bike riding * Try your luck at fishing * In winter go cross-country skiing and snow camping.
