Grampians National Park is part of the Gariwerd Aboriginal cultural landscape. Parks Victoria respects the deep and continuing connection that Traditional Owners have to these lands and waters, and we recognise their ongoing role in caring for Country.
The spectacular Grampians Peaks Trail is a challenging 160km 13-day/12-night hiking experience through the rugged interior of the Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park. Starting at Mt Zero in the north and heading south, the trail passes over the summit of Mt Difficult (Gar), continues through Halls Gap with hiking highlights including Redman Bluff, Major Mitchell Plateau and Mt Abrupt before reaching Dunkeld in the south.
Stay at unique hike-in campgrounds along the trail, climb dramatic mountain peaks with panoramic views, and hike along rugged rocky ridgelines. Experience a rich diversity of flora and fauna and the ancient Aboriginal culture of Gariwerd.

The Grampians Peaks Trail is best experienced hiking in a north to south direction. While most of the trail is classified as Grade 4 (recommended for experienced bushwalkers), there are a variety of ways to walk the trail based on fitness, experience and how much time you have. Be rewarded by some of the best hiking trails and panoramic views in Australia on the full trail, choose from a range of stunning overnight and multi-day hikes, or try smaller sections of the trail on day walks.
The trail caters for a variety of hiking styles, from fully facilitated hikes with a Licensed Tour Operator to independent and school groups plus self-guided walkers.
Before you hit the trail, download and read the important Plan & Prepare document, watch the safety video, and pre-book your on-trail and off-trail accommodation as needed. Then once in the Grampians, visit Brambuk – The National Park and Cultural Centre in Halls Gap for topographical maps and to speak with knowledgeable staff for the latest park information.
