Day 1 – Melbourne to Halls Gap
We depart Melbourne NGV at 12 noon on Thursday 4 December 2025, destined for Halls Gap in the Northern Grampians. On arrival in Halls Gap we will enjoy a short afternoon walk to understand more about the remarkable resilience and epicormic growth since the bushfires last Christmas. We will then enjoy an evening dinner getting to know our fellow walkers at one of Halls Gaps hospitality venues. This evening, we stay with our preferred accommodation provider in Halls Gap.
Day 2 – Halls Gap to Gar Huts
After a hearty breakfast in Halls Gap, we meet with our local trekking partners before taking a transfer to the start of the Northern Peaks Trail. Logistics permitting, we will first enjoy a Welcome to Country from local Elders at the Brambuk Cultural Centre. Our walk then commences, and over around 15 kms we ascend to the spectacularly located Gar Huts where we will dine and sleep this evening. (Time and weather permitting we may enjoy a short walk to Mount Difficult before dinner).
Day 3 – Gar to Werdug Huts
After a hikers breakfast at Gar, we begin our walk to Werdug Hut. Our walk today is approximately 15 kms and involves a slow saddle descent before gently rising up to Werdug Huts. Throughout we enjoy epic views along the Gariwerd escarpment and towards Lake Wartook. Our lunch and other stops will be at suitably located viewing locations allowing you opportune moments to take in this amazing landscape. We will arrive in Werdug around 4 pm with plenty of time to relax, chat and enjoy the stunning views. Once again, your guides will prepare an enjoyable and nourishing dinner, and we stay the evening in the huts.
Day 4 – Werdug to Halls Gap, then Melbourne
After two fairly epic days of walking, today we enjoy a more gentle but nonetheless spectacular descent into Halls Gap. Our walk is interspersed with spectacular views of the surrounding country, and we traverse through changing vegetations and micro-climates. It is a beautiful walk and having set off early we aim to be in Halls Gap by around 1pm. To conclude our experience, we enjoy a relaxing celebratory lunch and drink with our walking friends at a local Halls Gap hospitality provider. We aim to be back in Melbourne by around 4:30pm at which point we say goodbye with lifetime memories of an epic experience.
Conclusion
This is a truly spectacular walk and one of the icons in Victoria’s diverse walking landscape. We have guided many private tours of this walk, and the feedback has always been outstanding. We’d love to have you join us on this epic walk that will also be supporting the Grampians Community.
