ROAD CYCLING

With some of the tallest mountains in Australia, the High Country is renowned for its challenging road cycling climbs. The famed 7 Peaks ascent from Mount Beauty to Falls Creek is both visually alluring and physically rewarding. But it's not just the elevation that cyclist love about this region; the sprints up and down the Kiewa Valley in the foothills of Mount Bogong are just as beautiful and make idyllic recovery rides.
