Ridge Track

Ridge Track offers 4WD enthusiasts an accessible yet rewarding drive through the scenic Chiltern region of Victoria. This medium-difficulty trail strikes an ideal balance for drivers looking to build off-road confidence without tackling extreme terrain. You'll navigate 2.4 kilometres of well-defined track that showcases the area's natural beauty, with rolling hills and varied vegetation providing visual interest throughout your nine-minute journey.

The terrain combines gentle slopes and moderate elevation changes that keep your driving skills engaged without overwhelming newer off-road adventurers. You'll encounter natural track surfaces and gentle grades that allow you to experience genuine 4WD driving while maintaining control and comfort. The scenery shifts as you progress, revealing panoramic views characteristic of the Chiltern landscape.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good working order and that you've checked current conditions, as weather can affect track surfaces. While this trail presents no steep climbs or extreme hazards, standard off-road safety practices remain essential—carry water, a first aid kit, and let someone know your planned route. With only four vehicles having completed this track on Newtracs so far, you'll have the satisfaction of exploring a relatively undiscovered local gem that's perfect for a weekend adventure near Chiltern.
