Great Alpine Ride April 2012

4 Days: Tuesday 3rd April to Friday 6th April 2012

What better way to compliment your walking holiday than to swap your hiking books for a bike and see the Victorian Alps from a different perspective. This bike tour connects Mt Hotham with Falls Creek, two iconic walking/biking destinations. You have the option to combine a walking tour with a four day cycle tour, or if you prefer you can do the bike tour only. Mix that in with speactacular alpine views, cosy accommodation and charming high-country dining and you have a wonderful escape from the workaday world. We provide you with a mountain bike and helmet. You’ll be accompanied by Paul, our cycle guide, and a Park Trek guide who helps with support logistics.

Park Trek has teamed up with Paul from Sierra Sports & Tours to bring you this very healthy outdoor option. Why not extend your  walking tour with a  four day cycle tour of the Victorian High Country.  Your options are:

  • Alpine High Plans walking tour + Great Alpine Ride bike tour

  • Great Alpine Ride bike tour + Easter in the Alps walking tour

  • Great Alpine Ride bike tour only

Or why not go all out for the ultimate Alpine experience and combine all three for a 10 day Odyssey of the Victorian High Country!

When you book a walking tour combined with the four day Great Alpine Ride Tour you get a Bike ‘n’ Hike! It combines to make a superb 7 or 8 day experience complete with excellent guiding, equipment and a host of fabulous cycle trails. The total outlay for combining both trips is $(TBC). This represents a saving of $(TBC) for both trips.
