Northern Grampians Huts Walk with GPWC/AO | Guided Tour | Hiking

Carved into the rugged silhouette of Victoria’s Northern Grampians, the GPT Huts Walk by GPWC/AO offers a distinct blend of purposeful hiking and comfortable wilderness living. Situated in Halls Gap, this three-day journey unfolds across the Mount Difficult Range, a region defined by sandstone cliffs and towering escarpments that bear witness to ancient geological forces. The Grampians National Park, known locally as Gariwerd, hosts some of Australia’s most dramatic natural features—its seasonal waterfalls cascading with seasonal rains and wildflower-studded trails presenting an ever-changing palette.

The GPT Huts Walk distinguishes itself by combining multi-day trekking with the tangible comfort of four-bed hiker huts. Unlike typical backpacking that demands tent pitch and gear hauling, this trip relieves the burden of setting up camp with solid shelter, mattresses, and shared cooking facilities at designated Signature Hiker Camps. Each day’s hike reveals new vantage points, including expansive 360-degree views atop the ridges, scenic walks past waterfalls like Silverband Falls, and opportunities to connect with the unique wildlife that inhabits this sandstone ecovalleys.

The journey begins with a briefing in Halls Gap before transferring participants to the Gar Trailhead near Roses Gap. Along the way, the guides offer local knowledge and support, welcoming all experience levels and easing the complexity of navigation and logistics. As the daylight fades, guests savor freshly prepared meals that bring comfort to the trail while settling in under star-lit skies within cozy huts.

GPWC/AO’s commitment extends beyond comfort; their guided treks honor the local environment and cultural heritage of Gariwerd. The walk encourages sustainable interaction with this protected landscape. As an established adventure outfit within the Halls Gap community, the company not only showcases the Grampians’ raw beauty but also fosters a deeper understanding and respect for this iconic Australian wilderness.
