Alpine Shire

The terrain of Alpine Shire ranges from the Ovens River valley around Bright in the north-west to high alpine ridges around Mount Hotham in the south, creating sharp changes in climate and vegetation across a relatively compact area. In Victoria’s High Country, the shire includes established mountain communities such as Bright, Mount Beauty, Dinner Plain and Harrietville. The Great Alpine Road crosses this region, connecting the valleys with Mount Hotham’s snowfields and the alpine country beyond. Mount Buffalo National Park adds a broad granite plateau to the area’s varied geography, while the Ovens Valley recalls the gold-rush era that helped establish several local settlements.
