Walking and cycling – High Country
High Country is a premier bushwalking destination with an extensive network of tracks and trails. Hike to the top of Victoria's highest peaks for breathtaking views over the stunning alpine landscape, or cross high plains carpeted in summer wildflowers, past snow gum woodlands to historic cattlemen's huts. A number of the region's trails are also suitable for cycling, such as the renowned Murray to the Mountains Rail Trail that follows an old railway route through the beautiful Ovens River Valley that runs between Wangaratta and Bright.
