Overnight Hike with Trailblazer Elise Marcianti

Join us for our first-ever Zorali Outdoor Club overnight hike, hosted by Trailblazer Elise Marcianti!

Where: Meet at Razorback Trailhead (opposite Diamantina Hut), Great Alpine Road, Hotham

When: Saturday, April 26 – Sunday, April 27

Time: Meet at 11:30 AM for a 12:00 PM start

Distance: 11km from trailhead to summit (approx. 4–5 hours)

Return time: Sunday 12:00 PM

We’re heading into the heart of the Victorian High Country to experience the rugged beauty of Mount Feathertop, the state’s second-highest peak. This out-and-back hike follows the Razorback Track, a scenic ridge-line trail with sweeping views of the Alpine National Park.

We’ll be camping at Federation Hut, located 9.5km into the hike, with a final push to the summit for those keen. The return journey will take place the following morning.

This is a Grade 4 trail—medium to challenging—so while beginners are welcome, all hikers must be fully self-sufficient and prepared for changing alpine conditions. A full packing list is included below.

To ensure attendees have a safe and enjoyable experience, we have limited numbers to 10 hikers – RSVP now to secure your place!
