Summer In The High Country

 

Get away from it all and relax in comfort and style at Dinner Plain. Just under 2 hours from Wangaratta and Bairnsdale travelling along the Great Alpine Road.
There are loads of activities for everyone from walking, mountain bike riding, horse riding, scenic chair lift rides, fishing, enjoy them all and take in the breathtaking views of the Victorian Alps. From the village you can explore the new walking trails being created by Department of Sustainability and Environment crews, in conjunction with the Dinner Plain Landcare Group, in the state forest areas adjacent to the village. Or take on the challenge of walking or cycling the Mt Hotham to Dinner Plain Ski Trail. Trail maps and information available from our office.

Base yourself in the cool of the high country and plan some day trips to the historic Blue Duck Hotel north of Omeo, wineries of the Ovens Valley, or exploring the cattlemen's huts of the high country. The Bogong High Plains Road is fully sealed, creating a unique alpine touring loop between early November and late May every year. Visit our office to check the route.

You can also have a hit of tennis on Australia’s highest tennis courts where just watching the way the balls bounce at altitude is enough to work up a sweat.

For those who wish to experience the High Country on the back of a horse, Dinner Plain Trail Rides have the ride for you! Explore the High Country as you have never seen it before. Take in spectacular views, cross mountain streams, ride through sub-alpine and alpine ecosystems taking in all the natural flora and fauna.
Along the way enjoy the open plains with the chance to see wild brumbys, kangaroos,emus, wombats and more.

If relaxing is more your style, enjoy a picnic amongst the wildflowers, gentle walks throughout the village, have a BBQ on your own balcony, or at either of the two public BBQ’s in the village.

Indulge yourself and spend a weekend away in a fully self-contained apartment or chalet with everything at your fingertips. Enjoy great high country cooking in our restaurants or have a drink and chat with the locals. Whatever it is you enjoy you will love Dinner Plain in the summer!
