Alpine Nature Experience 

Embark on an evening snowshoe adventure through the snow gums to reach the hidden eco-village and central tipi, before indulging in a delicious French cheese fondue as part of a three course dinner. The perfect evening of adventure and fun for you and your friends, family or colleagues. The experience starts with an evening snowshoe walk through the mystic snow gums, to encapsulate a sense of remoteness and immerse oneself in the Australian alpine environment. Leaving at sunset from the wire plain shelter at Hotham, the walk will weave its way to a hidden eco-village, where you will enjoy a delicious heart warming glass of Gluhwein outside by the fire. You will then be invited into the Central tipi with a fireplace, where you will learn the secrets to making a traditional and mouth-watering French fondue, with cheese imported for the occasion from French Alpine farms.

Immersing oneself in nature is at the centre of all of Alpine Nature Experience’s offerings. This is no exception, but it does take a different approach to the way you hike: no need to carry large packs or a tent – it is done for you; so is dinner and the campsite set-up, but with a twist: the tents are hoisted between trees! Alpine Nature Experience’s all-inclusive two to three days self-guided (or with an experienced guide) curated hike from Falls Creek to Mount Hotham is designed to maximise comfort while still being an active weekend getaway. The offering includes: a night eco-glamping in tree top tents at Blair’s Hut Campground, locally-sourced meals and snacks, pre and post hike accommodation in luxury accommodation, and transport to the hike starting points. Your belongings are transported for you between sites, leaving you to enjoy the high country with just a light day pack. The product has been designed with exclusivity in mind. Limited weekends will be available and group numbers are capped at 10 people to ensure a personalised and unforgettable experience. Add-on options are available for a fully-catered experience, such as return transport from Melbourne, or an accompanying local walking guide.

The summer version of Alpine Nature Experience's eco-village and the perfect way to spend a weekend unwinding. Picture yourself watching the stars from our tree top tents after a copious meal by the fire, or perhaps from under a Tipi, breathing the fresh Alpine air surrounded by century-old snow gums. With plenty of outdoor games, hikes, walks and other adventures, they can package the perfect weekend for you to do as much, or as little, as you want.
