A mountain escape with big sandstone views, wildlife around Halls Gap and walks ranging from gentle valley rambles to serious climbs.

Start early, match the route to your experience and treat closures and weather as part of the plan.
Check current closures, weather and fire advice before choosing the day’s route.
