Mount View Track

Mount View Track delivers an excellent introduction to 4WD driving with enough technical challenge to keep experienced drivers engaged. Near Dartmouth in Victoria, this compact trail packs genuine variety into just 2.4 km, rewarding you with a satisfying off-road experience in under 10 minutes of driving time.

You'll navigate a medium-difficulty route that demands respect for its 15% steep grades, particularly as you climb toward the summit. The terrain combines rocky sections with firm ground, requiring steady throttle control and careful line selection. As you progress, panoramic views across the surrounding landscape unfold, making the climb worthwhile. The descent provides a different challenge—braking control becomes critical as gravity works against you on the steeper sections.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good condition, with properly inflated tyres and functioning brakes. The trail's compact nature means it's perfect for testing your 4WD skills without committing to a full day expedition.
