Staircase Spur Walking Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Staircase Spur is the most direct and popular route to Mount Bogong’s summit, and is a steep climb from Mountain Creek Track that runs along a well-defined ridge. The track gains elevation quickly through forest before opening up above the treeline onto exposed alpine terrain with expansive views along the way. Known for its sustained grade and minimal flat sections, it’s a challenging but straightforward ascent to Bivouac Hut and the summit plateau.

Bivouac Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This small alpine shelter sits just below Mount Bogong’s summit plateau near the top of Staircase Spur. This compact metal hut provides emergency shelter in the mountain’s harsh and changeable weather, serving as a key waypoint for walkers approaching the summit. Nestled among snow gums and alpine heath, it offers limited protection from wind and snow, but is not intended as primary overnight accommodation.

Mount Bogong

Highlight • Summit

Mount Bogong is Victoria’s highest peak at 1,986 metres, with a wide summit marked by a prominent cairn and expansive views across the Victorian Alps. The exposed plateau is often windy and can experience rapid weather changes, with snow common in winter and lingering into spring. From the top, there are sweeping panoramas over surrounding ridgelines, high plains, and distant peaks, making it one of Australia’s most rewarding alpine viewpoints.
