Grampians

Your escape route to mountains of adventure, nature and foodie delights.

Where all the great stuff hides in plain sight. The stunning scenery grabs you from the get-go and has you dreaming of ancient spirits, mountain hikes, cascading waterfalls, wildflower carpets and native creatures and birdsong. Whether you’re cabin-dwelling, vanning, camping or glamping, the inspiring Grampians escarpment rises up before you. It’s adventure ground zero: abseiling, standup paddle boarding, mountain bike riding, serious hiking or casual bush walking. The two hour return hike to The Pinnacle is a rite of passage rewarding you with a view to rule them all.

Not up for a climb? Take a scenic chopper flight high above the peaks or scramble onto a pimped-up motor-trike for a guided tour.

Whichever way you explore the 167,000-hectare national park, you’re assured native wildlife glimpses. Keep an eagle eye and ear out for kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, lizards and a myriad of birds in their natural habitats.

Tap into thousands of years of Indigenous ways of life at Brambuk – The National Park & Cultural Centre.

The region is foodie heaven where five-star dining meets cosy cafés, artisanal provedores, farmgates, local-legend country pubs, markets and world-famous wineries.
