7 Peaks Ride – Mt Baw Baw

Victoria’s 7 Peaks Ride is an at-your-own pace cycling challenge which runs from late October to April. Taking you up winding mountain roads, around steep turns and past spectacular views right to the top of seven Victorian Alpine Resorts.

Short and steep. There is a stunning ride from Noojee and a gentle start to the climb before the official starting point at The Gantry. Now be prepared, this is recognised as one of the hardest climbs in Australia. When you reach the village at the top, the feeling of satisfaction is second only to the views, which are breathtaking, if you have any breath left to be taken.
