Why this Hike
This walk to the summit of Mount Cope (1837m) can offer some of the best views in the high country. With beautiful native surrounds this serene walk may be short but does have quite a steady and decent climb, perfect for moderately experienced walkers.
Track Notes & Overview
Starting from the carpark at the base of the Mount Cope Walking Track along Bogong High Plains Road (marked with a Mount Cope sign) this walk follows the path up Mount Cope’s saddle in a vaguely south westerly direction. The track leads you right the way to the summit which is marked with a blackish pole and can sometimes be seen from the base of the mountain. Once you've reached the top you can embrace some of the views and enjoy lunch before returning down along the same path back down the mountain.
*Please note that Bogong High Plains Road is closed during winter and early spring due to heavy snow cover, the track is also covered during this time and for that reason the walk is best completed on skies during winter.
