Snow Hike – Mount Stirling

This is a lovely way to experience the uniqueness of camping in the snow, and gain a true alpine experience. Our overnight snow camping will give you a chance to experience something truly unique (particularly in Australia) and do so safely and in relative comfort. It will be challenging, fun, social and achievable!

Come along and discover adventure, new friends and feel amazed and proud of your experience. Sleeping in a tent is a pretty cool experience, but sleeping in a tent IN THE SNOW is a story you can tell people for a long long time…

We can loan you gear including a rucksack, tent and sleeping mat, but you will need to beg, borrow or steal a sleeping bag. We also recommend you bring a sleeping bag liner and a few other things to make your night as comfortable as possible. We’ll give you guidance as to how to make yourself as warm as possible.

We will arrange all the food and cooking equipment but please leave a small amount of space in your rucksack to add some food.

Itinerary

Day 1

We meet you at the base of Mount Buller/Mt Stirling no resort entry required by you. Once assembled we then drive up Mt Stirling in a fully snow equipped 4WD truck. At Mt Stirling shop/centre we’ll pickup our snowshoes and make sure all equipment is fitted and have a pre hike snack. We then start our hike up into the forest donning snowshoes once we hit the snow. We camp by one of the huts near the summit which means once we set up camp we can get warm and cosy by the wood burners while we prepare dinner. We could even have a snowball fight…

Included Food: Lunch

Accommodation: Tent

Day 2

After a hearty breakfast to warm you up after a night cosy in our tents we’ll head up to the summit of Mt stirling no heavy packs needed. Once we’ve explored the summit we head back down and pack up all our gear. We then hike back down to our start location and arrive back to have lunch in the warmth of the Mt Stirling ski centre. After this we drive back down to your cars.
