Mount Beauty certainly lives up to its name. This quaint little alpine village is situated in Victoria’s High Country in the northeast of the state and is surrounded by natural beauty. The town sits at the southern end of the picturesque Kiewa Valley, along the Kiewa River, just 334 kilometres from Melbourne via Wangaratta.
It’s a popular spot in the winter months and just as pretty in the warmer ones.
In the heart of the Alpine National Park, Mount Beauty sits at the foot of Victoria’s highest mountain, Mount Bogong. The area features lakes, forests and snowfields with amazing views and scenic lookouts around every corner.
Mount Beauty was established in the 1940s to serve as a base for workers on the Kiewa Hydro-Electric Scheme. Today, it’s a thriving tourist town, just a short drive from the popular Falls Creek Ski Resort and the alpine destinations of Mount Hotham and Mount Buffalo.
Mount Beauty holidays aren’t just for the winter months. In summer, it’s one of Australia’s leading mountain biking destinations attracting adventure-seekers from across the globe. For those wanting to take life at a slower pace, Mount Beauty has many lovely walking tracks that meander along the Kiewa River and Mount Beauty Pondage, a recreational facility for water sports.
Want to take things at an even more relaxed pace? Stroll through town visiting the interesting shops and the Mount Beauty Museum or enjoy a cuppa in one of the beautiful parks. Take a scenic drive to the local farms, wineries and breweries dotted along the fertile Kiewa Valley.
Mount Beauty is a great base for exploring some of the wonderful natural attractions of Victoria’s alpine region - the snow fields, gorges, waterfalls, stunning lakes and majestic mountains. The climate ranges from sunny summers to colourful autumns, cold winters and wet springs making it an excellent place for year-round activities.
People are drawn to Mount Beauty to go skiing, bike riding, bushwalking, horse riding, gliding, canoeing, golfing, and fishing in the lakes and rivers.
Mount Beauty tours take you to places like Sullivan’s Lookout with its breathtaking views over the Kiewa Valley and the 1,986-metre-high Mount Bogong. Take off on the 2.8-kilometre Mount Beauty Gorge Walk or the Kiewa River trail, stopping off (in summer) for a refreshing dip!
Just 32 kilometres away is the popular holiday town of Bright, where the annual Bright Autumn Festival celebrates the region’s spectacular foliage and local produce.
The Dhudhuroa are the First Peoples and Traditional Custodians of the area covering Bright and surrounds, including Mount Beauty and Tawonga South.
Mount Beauty runs a market on the first Saturday of each month, the annual Mount Beauty Music Festival, and a host of mountain biking competitions.
Mount Beauty is 366 metres above sea level and occasionally snow does fall there. Whilst it’s an ideal spot for alpine activities, skiers need to head to Falls Creek for skiing.
