Tour Overview
When it comes to high peaks, quiet roads and scenery on an epic scale the Victorian alpine region has set the bar for cyclists looking for serious climbs without heading overseas.

From the shores of Lake Jindabyne in the Snowy Mountains you will enjoy riding quiet country roads while sampling all the local cafes, bakeries, restaurants and highest peaks of the region before turning your head to the border and making your way over the Victorian Alps to the pretty town of Bright, where Falls Creek, Mt Hotham and more await. With the best that Mother Nature has to offer on show while making your way across epic mountains and beautiful valleys this cycling holiday is a must for the rider looking for the ultimate challenge.
Enjoy exclusive use of a resort with knockout veiws of Lake Jindabyne, 4 star accommodation in beautiful Bright as the finale, quiet country town hospitality in all the towns in between and roads that take you from Aussie bushland to open panoramas where you'll struggle to find a pothole or a car to spoil eleven perfect days riding your bike. If you're a true mountain goat looking for the ultimate climbing holiday, then check out this tour departing November each year, or contact us and let us plan a tour around some dates that suit you.
