Mount Beauty

Nestled in the fertile Kiewa Valley at the foot of Mount Bogong, Mount Beauty is a mountain biking hub for visiting adventurers and home to local farms, wineries and breweries.

Mountain climbs and river rides
One of the country’s leading mountain biking destinations, the Big Hill Mountain Bike Park is located on the edge of town and regularly hosts races, including the National Mountain Bike Championships. Choose from numerous cross country and downhill tracks, or just make your own fun on the trails in the nearby forest and national parks.

Or take a pleasant ride on sealed tracks that meander along the Kiewa River and Mount Beauty Pondage, a comfortable cycling experience for all ages and experience levels.

Farm gates and wineries
Hit the back country roads and harvest the bounty of the fertile Kiewa Valley, stocking up on fresh produce from welcoming farm gates. Combine premium sparkling wines with a gourmet lunch in stunning surrounds at Annapurna Wines or gobble up French fare and pinot noir at Bogong Estate.

Live life outdoors
Fill your lungs with clear alpine air and hike through the Alpine National Park. Explore the High Plains on horseback, camp out with the family, and enjoy tranquil fishing in the Kiewa River. The fun doesn’t stop when the cold weather arrives. Bring your skis and boards to conquer the runs at nearby Falls Creek, staying in the village’s luxury alternatives to on-mountain accommodation.

Bogong beauty
Take in the magnificent views of Mount Bogong and the Mount Beauty village from Tawonga Gap, and see amazing scenery on the 230-kilometre Bogong Alpine Way (part of the Great Alpine Road), looping through Bright, Mount Beauty, Falls Creek and over Mount Hotham.
