Victorian Backcountry Festival

HOME / Victorian Backcountry Festival

Victoria’s Back Country Festival is back for 2025! A celebration of ‘all things back country’, from alpine touring and cross-country skiing, to split boarding and snow camping, and everything in between. 

FRIDAY AUG 29TH — SUNDAY AUG 31ST 2025

3 DAYS OF STOKE AT MOUNT HOTHAM

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. It will be a family friendly, welcoming and inclusive event. The Festival celebrates the growing movement of ‘all things backcountry’, comprising human powered winter activities such as cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, telemarking, alpine ski touring, splitboarding and snow camping.

This year we are excited to be offering new Advanced tours to allow attendees to explore bigger and steeper terrain. If that's not you yet, then we are pleased to offer both beginner and intermediate tours to get you out there with our experienced Tour Leaders.
