Aarons Track

Aaron's Track near Chiltern delivers an adrenaline-pumping challenge that separates serious 4WD enthusiasts from casual off-roaders. This demanding 0.7 km route packs intense technical difficulty into a compact experience, featuring a brutal 37% grade that will test both your vehicle's capabilities and your nerve. You'll need a winch equipped vehicle to safely navigate this trail—it's not optional equipment here, but essential recovery gear for the steep sections that demand respect and preparation.

The short but savage terrain means you can expect to spend around 20 minutes tackling one of Victoria's toughest compact tracks. The steep grades dominate the driving experience, with relentless climbs that require precise throttle control and vehicle setup. You should arrive with a fully charged battery, properly inflated tyres, and a thorough pre-drive vehicle check. The narrow, unforgiving path offers little margin for error, and the gradient means momentum is both your friend and your enemy—too much speed and you'll lose control, too little and you'll bog down.

Only 12 vehicles have successfully completed Aaron's Track, which tells you everything about its reputation.

This is a trail for experienced drivers with capable vehicles and genuine technical skill. If you're seeking bragging rights and a legitimate test of 4WD mastery, Aaron's Track delivers in spades.
