Prepare for adrenaline-pumping alpine activity with a stop in Harrietville, the gateway village to the stunning Alpine National Park.

An alpine base

Use Harrietville as a base to explore the Alps year-round, from skiing and snowboarding at Mount Hotham and Falls Creek in winter, to hiking Mount Feathertop amid wildflowers in spring. There's a wide range of accommodation in the village.

Village days

Dedicate enough time to explore the green and lush village. Follow walking and bicycle trails along the river, and enjoy a relaxing picnic, barbecue or swim at the beautiful Tronoh dredge hole, a reminder of the gold mining history and now the village's swimming lake.

Gourmet treats

Replenish with the fare of gourmet local producers at Grannies Pantry, Lavender Farm and Feathertop Berries. Pick your own berries from local farms and snare your dinner in one of the rambling rivers, or opt for a safe catch in the trout farm.
