The Northern Luxe Guided Walk is a 4 day, 3 night all-inclusive tour through the Northern Grampians – by far, the most dramatic part of the Gariwerd Landscape. Its dry, sandy gullies and valley floors are dominated by huge rocky outcrops and the biggest sheer sandstone cliffs found anywhere in the Grampians. Enjoy private lodging by night, pack-free walks by day, and local wine & fare.

NORTHERN LUXE AT A GLANCE
Our tour begins at Mount Zero and continues through Mount Stapylton, Bariga Falls, Brigg’s Bluff, Wimmera Plains, and Beehive Falls, to name just a few iconic landmarks. On the way, we’ll experience ancient indigenous rock art, scramble to incredible 360-degree views, and feel dwarfed by the scale of the landscape.
Each day, transfer back to your private, off-grid eco-lodge and, after a hot shower, enjoy a glass of local wine and sample some local Grampians produce before dining on a banquet-style home-cooked feast.

Day 1: Welcome to your eco-lodge
Arrive at our eco-lodge at your leisure. Enjoy a welcome drink on your arrival. There will be a light dinner available for those that arrive in time. Once the team has assembled, we will hold a briefing for the next few days. The evening is then yours to relax, and get to know your new friends.


Day 2: Mt Zero, Mt Stapylton, Barigar Falls
12.5 km ⬆ 450m ⬇ 490m
A short transfer will take us to the very northern end of the Grampians Peaks Trail where we’ll begin our walk. From Mount Zero we will pass through the Stapylton Amphitheatre and be dwarfed by one of Victoria’s tallest and steepest rock climbing walls. We’ll exit the amphitheatre and have the option for a very scrambly ascent to the summit of Mount Stapylton. It’s quite a scramble with some exposure to heights, so this side trip may not be for everyone. On return, we’ll continue southward, until we descend through a gorge and visit Barigar Falls before a final stretch to walk back into our eco-lodge for the evening.
Day 3: briggs bluff, wimmera plains, beehive falls
16 km ⬆ 600m ⬇ 600m
Walking out of our eco-lodge we’ll rejoin the Grampians Peaks Trail and continue our journey. More dramatic scenery today as we’re dwarfed again by giant sheer cliffs and explore newly rediscovered waterfalls. The high point of today’s walk is an optional side trip up to Briggs Bluff – offering an epic 360-degree view of the Northern Grampians and the Wimmera Plains. We’ll then backtrack slightly and visit Beehive Falls before a short transfer back to the eco-lodge.
