From sweeping vistas across mountain ranges all year round, to stunning displays of colourful wild flowers in spring and magical snow peaks in winter, there is something on offer for everyone.

Parks Victoria in conjunction with the Victorian High Country Huts Association (VHCHA) have recently undertaken a series of projects to restore historic huts in the High Country including Howitt Hut, on the Howitt Plains in the Gippsland High Country and Bindaree Hut near Mansfield in the Alpine National Park.

McNamara's Hut located at Dinner Plain in the Alpine National Park, North Eastern Victoria has been successfully restored for visitors to come and inspect and experience a true part of our Victoria's heritage and culture.

Ritchie's Hut in the Howqua Hills Historic Area, Alpine National Park has now added a new visitor amenity that provides modern day technology in such a historic area. Utilising a new side-shifter toilet model that is ideal for amenities in such a remote location ensuring a greatly improved experience for visitors.

Parks Victoria works in partnership with the VHCHA along with dedicated volunteers from local building firms, 4WD clubs and friend's groups to deliver these projects.

A new master plan which proposes a new route for the Falls to Hotham Alpine Crossing has been developed to guide future upgrades of the trail including the best route for the Alpine Crossing and upgrades for supporting infrastructure needed to enhance this world-class walk. The new route will take in the steep and challenging Diamantina Spur to provide walkers with access to the spectacular scenery from the summit of Mount Feathertop.
