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.
