Embark on the Northern Huts Walk, a 3-day, 2-night escapade traversing the Mount Difficult (Gar) range in the Northern Grampians. More than just a hike, the Northern Huts experience is an immersive adventure with a touch of comfort. Each night is spent at a Signature Hiker Camp, with plenty of time to rest and enjoy a freshly cooked meal with a glass of local wine, before falling asleep under a blanket of stars on a comfortable bed.

Suitable for both novices and experienced hikers, you'll discover seasonal waterfalls, ascend stunning peaks, and return to Halls Gap inspired and recharged. Prices start from $1,850 per person, with some bushwalking experience recommended.
