Stirling Trail

Stirling Trail offers 4WD enthusiasts a compact yet intriguing off-road experience nestled in the alpine terrain near Mount Buller. This 3-kilometre route provides an accessible introduction to backcountry driving without the commitment of longer expeditions, making it ideal for those looking to test their vehicle's capabilities or refine their off-road skills in a more manageable setting.

You'll navigate through diverse alpine terrain that showcases the rugged character of Victoria's high country. The trail winds through native vegetation and undulating landscape, delivering scenic vistas typical of the Mount Buller region. The relatively flat gradient means you can focus on technical driving elements rather than steep descents, allowing for a more measured exploration of the surrounding environment. Weather conditions in this alpine zone can change rapidly, so you should be prepared with appropriate gear and check conditions before heading out.

While the trail remains unrated with limited traffic history on Newtracs, this presents an opportunity for early explorers to contribute valuable trail intelligence. Ensure your vehicle is in good working order, carry essential recovery gear, and consider bringing a communication device for safety.
