VICTORIAN BACKCOUNTRY FESTIVAL

2-4 September 2022

A celebration of ‘all things back country’, from cross-country skiing and alpine touring, to split boarding and snow camping, and everything in between. 

Victoria’s Back Country Festival is back for 2022!  Details to be announced soon, but in the meantime, this is what you can expect...

  • You’ll learn about human-powered winter activities such as cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, telemarking, alpine touring, split boarding, photography and snow camping.  
  • The Festival aims to not only provide an introduction to the ever-growing suite of backcountry activities, but to also make it more accessible to the general public whilst educating them about mountain safety. 
  • The Festival program will have a range of workshops catering for non-skiers to beginners, all the way to advanced skiers and boarders.
