10 Epic Australian Cycling DestinationsView list

Victoria’s best developed rail trail, the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail, offers cyclists of all abilities a fantastic Australian cycling experience through the heart of Victoria’s alpine region.

As you cycle along the sealed off-road cycle trail you’ll savour delightful hidden valleys with sublime views, spectacular mountain scenery as well as have the opportunity to get out of the saddle to sample the delicious bounty of gourmet producers, many renowned cellar doors, and cafes and craft brewers that can be found along the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail.

The trail is open from October through to April which allows you to enjoy the different seasons. Cool down in rivers and streams during summer or just enjoy the changing colours during autumn.

Snaking through the Ovens Valley, the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail stretches over 100 kilometres in the north-east of the state. The trail connects many other trails from the flatlands around Wangaratta to the alpine town of Bright as well as to Beechworth, Milawa and Wandiligong. And with a separate section linking Rutherglen to Wahgunyah on the Murray River, there are plenty of self-guided cycling options for you to consider.
