Pyrite Ranges North

Join us on this more exciting day walk around the rugged tracks of the lesser known Pyrite Ranges. This walk is a harder grade ‘4’ and although not far beyond the outskirts of Melbourne’s northern suburbs, offers some wonderful and seemingly remote walking. You’ll be rewarded on this walk with a range of track conditions, from a bunch of short steep ups and downs to windy thin trails and some sections of pleasant single track, plus we’ll entertain you with two small creek crossings and a short section of off-track walking to make this circuit. Although it can get hot out here in summer, this is great year round walking and we’ve set up this day hike to tick all the boxes, so make sure you add it to your ‘want to do’ list. So bring your grippy footwear and your poles if you have them and join us for an adventure.

Come along on your own, or bring a friend or family member. It doesn’t matter who you are or your fitness, we want to encourage more people to get out, make new friends, and have a great day outside connecting with nature, enjoying good conversation and feeling fit and healthy. We have walkers of all ages, from the 70’s all the way down to kids. Our qualified and encouraging staff lead your day out and feed you yummy healthy food, so come along and feel safe, supported and try our famous lemon slice and protein balls. You will get to visit the best and some lesser known day hiking destinations within two hours of Melbourne. There is no better time to treat yourself to a day in nature, connecting with new friends and feeling amazing! Book a walk TODAY!
