Nestled in the fertile Kiewa Valley at the foot of Mount Bogong, Mount Beauty and Tawonga are soul-refreshing getaway destinations any time of the year.

Fill your lungs with clear, alpine air as you hike through the Alpine National Park, explore the High Plains on horseback, camp out with the family or enjoy tranquil fishing in the Kiewa River.

You can take in the magnificent views of Mount Bogong and the Mount Beauty village from Tawonga Gap, where even on rainy-filled misty days or foggy mornings, the view is spectacular.

The 230km Bogong Alpine Way as it loops through Bright, Mount Beauty, Falls Creek and over Mount Hotham.

Mount Beauty is also one of Australia's leading mountain biking destinations, drawing mountain bike enthusiasts to the Big Hill Mountain Bike Park near the edge of town.

Adventurers can choose from numerous cross country and downhill tracks, or make their own fun on the trails in the nearby forest and national parks.

Cyclists of all ages and experience levels who prefer a slower pace can use the sealed tracks to meander along the Kiewa River and Mount Beauty Pondage instead.
