Walking & Hiking

Traveling on foot offers a unique way to enjoy the mountain – one that appeals to all the senses. Wander through snow gum woodlands and grasslands or trek to the summit and take in the magnificent views – the choice is yours!

Pick your own path or join a group and let an experienced guide show you the way.

Guided Walks:

•  High Country Hiking Tours
• Mansfield Bushwalks 

Mt Stirling has a number of locations for enjoying the Australian alpine wilderness by staying overnight during a bushwalk. Please read through the tips below to ensure you have a fantastic camping experience and leave the alps in pristine condition for all to enjoy.

• Camp amongst the snow gums rather than in the lower Mountain Ash areas - Mountain Ash are prone to falling unpredictably.
• Be prepared for all weather conditions. The weather can change suddenly and without warning in alpine areas.
• Be sure to take a map and compass and learn to use them before you head off.
• Tell someone where you are going or complete a trip intention form.
• Use the toilets provided, or ensure you dig deep holes 100 metres from waterways in order to protect the health of both animals and humans.
• Take note of fire safety and evacuation locations. DO NOT light fires on fire ban days- if you are not sure, then don't light it!
• Be sure you haven't disturbed any precious flora or fauna on your hike.
• Use the rubbish bins provided or carry your litter away with you.
