Immerse yourself in remote tranquillity as you traverse the iconic alpine landscapes of Mt Stirling past cattlemen's huts, bushland and beyond the alpine tree line. Suited for experts only, this route moves into adventure cycling with highly technical chunky gravel sections and formidable climbs that even the most skilled rider may need to walk in places. While the loop doesn't quite reach the summit, those craving more views and challenges can add a 900m gruelling ascent on the Bluff Spur Trail to Howqua Gap Trail.
