PRIOR TO BOOKING IN FOR EITHER OF THESE 2 WALKS, IF YOU HAVE NOT WALKED WITH US BEFORE, YOU WILL NEED TO RING EITHER MICK OR MYSELF.
This will be the first time we have been on either of these tracks. They are both well-known and well-marked hikes. Both hikes finish at Mt Buller Summit. We will be doing a car shuffle prior to walking so cars will be waiting for us. When you book, you will need to say which walk you are booking in for.
KLINGSPORN BRIDLE TRAIL: is an approx. 7km, Grade 4 hike and is supposed to be one of the less intense approaches to the summit of Mount Buller. The hike commences from a carpark opposite the Mirimbah Picnic Ground. The track passes, Thank Christ Corner’ on McLaughlan Shoulder Spur and Burnt Hut Spur. Continuing to climb it passes to the east of the Buller reservoir. From this point, we will locate the start of the Summit Nature Walk and follow it west towards the prominent summit of Mount Buller. Ascend the trail to the summit. Elevation gain is approx. 1200m
WEST RIDGE TRACK: is an approx. 7km, Grade 4/5 hike and traverses the scenic West Ridge of Mt Buller. There may be the option to extend this walk, but it will depend on group discussion. The hike ascends the dramatic West Ridge, offering a mix of open Snowgum woodlands and exciting rock scrambles. As you gain elevation, prepare to be awestruck by unparalleled views unfolding from the summit of Mount Buller. The traditional route begins at the junction of Doughty and Summit Roads. Ascend the West Ridge track, taking in the scenic surrounds. The path is steep and involves rock scrambles, so be prepared for a challenging but rewarding climb. Elevation gain is approx. 1300m
To save a very early start from Albury on the Saturday I will be staying at The High-Country Holiday Park, in Mansfield on Friday night.
