The Mt Hotham 7 Peaks Challenge ride is part of Australia's ultimate self-paced road cycling adventure.

Climb all 7 Peaks to ascend more than 7,000 metres over 160 kilometres.

Meet the Powerhouse of the 7 Peaks Challenge group. Imposing and relentless, this is a true heavyweight of a climb. Conquer this fierce competitor to be rewarded by breathtaking mountain views that make the leg burn absolutely worth it.

Your 30 kilometre ride starts from cosy Harrietville (or roll out of Bright for a longer warm up). Climb 1,321m of elevation with a grade average of 4% and grade max of 18% to finish on the top of Australia at Mt Hotham Village. Settle into your climbing gear to tackle the infamous The Meg and CRB Hill before soaking in panoramic views of Feathertop.

The 7 Peaks Challenge season runs from October to April every year. Head to the Victoria's High Country website to register for the challenge and conquer the peaks of Mt Hotham, Falls Creek, Mt Buffalo, Mt Buller, Dinner Plain, Lake Mountain and Mt Baw Baw during the 2026/27 alpine riding season to go into the draw to win exclusive 7 Peaks Challenge prizes.

This ride takes you into remote alpine areas. Always check the weather conditions, the Vic Emergency App and VicRoads before setting out and wear appropriate kit and clothing layers.
