This website is an independent, unofficial guide published for general information and trip planning. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representative of Parks Victoria, the Victorian Government, Visit Victoria, Alpine Shire, VicRoads, any Traditional Owner representative body, or any other government agency or commercial operator unless explicitly stated.

Outdoor recreation involves risk. Alpine weather, ice, seasonal road closures and granite edges (The Horn, The Cathedral, Gorge lookouts) can close a plan in a morning. You are responsible for your decisions, fitness, navigation, weather assessment, chain-fit if required, and compliance with park rules (including camping bookings, fire bans and drone rules). Always verify track status, fees, fire bans and safety information on official Parks Victoria resources.
