A winter hike up the Bungalow Spur trail near Harrietville in Victoria's High Country - one of the most challenging and rewarding hiking trails in the Victorian Alps. This Grade 4 hiking trail climbs steadily through alpine ash forest and snow gum woodland toward Mount Feathertop, offering wildlife encounters, stunning fungi displays, and a genuine alpine experience. If you're planning a Bungalow Spur hike, read this before you go - it's steeper and more demanding than it looks on the map.
