Your first day takes you up the historic Bungalow Spur to camp near Federation Hut, with time to relax, refuel, and soak in the high-country atmosphere. At dawn, you’ll ascend Mt Feathertop for an unforgettable sunrise, and incredible panoramic views.

From the summit, the route continues along the iconic Razorback, a stunning narrow ridgeline that delivers uninterrupted alpine views and a true sense of mountain exposure. After traversing this spectacular spine of the Victorian Alps, you make a technical and rewarding descent back to Harrietville, completing a full alpine loop.

This is your culmination moment, where you apply the fitness, resilience, and mountain skills you've built throughout the program. A physically challenging, mentally strengthening, and deeply rewarding finish that proves your capability in true alpine conditions and celebrates how far you’ve come.

Your Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know before hitting the trail! From what to bring to booking details, we've got you covered. Explore the essentials for your next guided hiking adventure.

  • This program isn’t suitable for complete beginners. A minimum hiking experience, or being active with a minimum of fitness is required. However, if you’re new to multi-day hiking, this is the perfect opportunity for you to get prepared and to take on the challenge in a fully organised event.

    If you are a complete beginner, I invite you to join our weekend Day Hikes first and build your fitness slowly.

    By joining my HikeFit Prep Program we will help you acquire the physical fitness and the skills to accomplish your your multi-day hiking adventure.

    We will be guiding you throughout the the final program’s event where you will put into practice all your learnings. That said, this is still your adventure—you’ll be responsible for carrying your own pack with gear and preparing accordingly for the journey.

    Our team will be here to help, but the effort and training will be up to you!

  • Yes, you do! While this is a fully organised event, it is still a multi-day hike, so you’ll need to carry your overnight gear, including a tent, mattress, sleeping bag, change of clothes, cooking utensils… etc.

    However, as you will be attending with your program team, we will have the possibility to share some of the load with other participants.

  • Food during training is not provided except snacks. Food & snacks during event will be provided at the start.

    However, feel free to bring your own snacks especially if you have specific dietary.

  • Yes, transport is included for both the Training Day Hikes and the final event, so you can relax and recover without having to drive after long, demanding days.

    Sharing the journey together also adds to the fun and helps strengthen the team bond!

  • Yes and no – you do need to prepare yourself and get the right gear for this event, especially because it can get really cold in the mountain.

    The cost depends on the gear you already own and whether you need to acquire additional items. It varies based on the brand, quality, and whether you buy new, second-hand, or rent. We see it as a worthwhile investment, marking the start of your hiking journey!

    We highly recommend getting your own hiking shoes, and you can always borrow other gear if needed. We will provide you with a checklist of must-have and optional gear to ensure you’re well-prepared. If you want to purchase equipment, we recommend ONE PLANET’s Camplist ( Link here). ONE PLANET is an Australian owned maker of quality outdoor gear that’s well priced and built to last. That’s good for the planet!  Or you can alternatively go to Bogong Equipment and you will get 10% discount if you part of Hike Tribe’s team.

    Also we’ll help you get any gear you’re missing through renting, borrowing, or sharing with other Hike Tribe team members.

  • Check our T&C for our HikeFit Prep Program.

  • Partaking in an outdoor activity involves few risks due to the nature of the activity. Our guides have their first aid training in the wilderness.

    Training is essential and getting yourself physically prepared will minimise risks of injuries. Additionally, the event will provide first aid trainers and medics. We still highly encourage participants to get an ambulance cover in case of any issues.

  • Toilet facilities along the trail differ by location. However you will likely need to use a “bush toilet,” as we call it. To support environmental preservation, you can carry a trowel, toilet paper and waste bags. Please ensure all rubbish is properly disposed of, leaving no trace behind.

  • Kids are not allowed as part of HikeFit Preparation Program.

  • We also apply our own grading system to help you choose a hike that suits your experience and fitness:

    Beginner: Ideal for those new to hiking, featuring gentle hills and uneven terrain. These hikes average 2.5 hours with minimal ascents (under 300m).

    Intermediate: Designed for those with some hiking experience, offering moderate challenges. These hikes average 3.5 hours with a total ascent around 450m.

    Advanced: Perfect for confident hikers seeking rewarding day hike adventures. These hikes average 5 hours with up to 750m of total ascent.

    Expert: For those eager to push their boundaries, these challenging hikes range from 6 to 8 hours, with an average ascent of 1000m.

    Important Note: Our internal levels do not always align directly with the Australian Grading System. For example, a Grade 3 hike may be listed as Advanced due to its length, or a Grade 4 hike may be marked as Intermediate if the challenging section is brief.

    You can find the Hike Level Grading on our hikes calendar. If you’re unsure about your fitness level or need assistance selecting a hike, feel free to contact our team, we’re happy to help!
