THE GREAT ALPINE ROAD Consider this spectacular road trip through Victoria’s breathtaking high country … it’s well worth a visit
Wangaratta to Metung 339km, about 5 hours
Dine on fresh local produce and awardwinning cool climate wines, or catch your own lunch in a mountain stream or lake as you go.
Wind your way along Victoria’s Great Alpine Road, from Wangaratta in the north-east across to Metung on the jaw-droppingly beautiful Gippsland Lakes.
Make the journey year-round, whether you prefer warm weather walking, cycling and camping or high-adrenaline adventure opportunities and perennially popular wintertime snow action.
The 339-kilometre adventure along Australia’s highest year-round accessible sealed road leads you through diverse landscapes, across lofty mountain ranges, down plunging valleys, into lush forests, and past rolling vineyards to sparkling coastal waterways.
Whatever the season, breathtaking views, unforgettable scenery and warm welcomes in the villages are guaranteed. Travelling this route in reverse can take you from Gippsland north to Bairnsdale, then diverting west from Omeo to Mt Hotham or Dinner Plain.
