About
The GPT Huts Walk is a 3-day, 2-night journey that will traverse the Mount Difficult range in the Northern Grampians. Using the on-trail ‘signature hiker camps’ we will get to experience an uninterrupted journey without having to sleep on the floor in a tent.
4-bed hiker huts provide protection from the elements, comfortable mattresses, and plenty of room to keep your life organised.
We'll begin our journey at the Gar Trailhead in Roses Gap, pass some of the most spectacular seasonal waterfalls in the Grampians, reach incredible high points that offer 360-degree views and over 3 days make our way back to Halls Gap. Each night we'll stay at a Signature Hiker Camp, rest, enjoy a freshly cooked trail meal and sleep under a blanket of stars on a comfortable bed. No matter your level of hiking experience, our passionate local team will guide and support you through this journey to explore their backyard.

Who is this program for?
Our ‘Northern Huts’ programs are designed for those who love to hike and explore (no matter your level of experience) and want a continuous journey - multiple days, start to finish without leaving the trail but prefer the idea of sleeping in a hut with a bed and mattress. While we take care of all the group equipment (cooking equipment, food etc) and mattresses are provided in the huts, you will need to be capable of carrying your personal clothing and sleeping bag, approximately 6-10 kgs.
If you don’t mind sleeping in a lightweight hiking tent and plan to walk the whole length of the GPT over a number of visits, check out our Expedition programs.
If you like creature comforts like a hot shower at the end of each day and walking pack-free - check out our GPT Lodge Walk!
