The track winds through classic alpine terrain, with native vegetation framing your passage as you navigate the undulating landscape at a leisurely pace—you can complete the entire route in around 12 minutes, though most drivers linger to soak in the scenery.

The surrounding high country landscape offers rewarding views, particularly during autumn and spring when vegetation colours shift dramatically.

Before heading out, check that your vehicle is in good mechanical condition and bring supplies for the brief journey.
