Klingsporn Bridle Track

A historic walk where cattleman once rode, through mountain fields, scrubby woodland, and rocky boulder fields, that rewards with incredible views.

Starting at the summit of Mt Buller, follow the trail into the state forest before finishing at Mirimbah at the base of the mountain. For more of a challenge, start at Mirimbah and finish at the top. Walkers/hikers can catch the bike shuttle down the mountain free of charge when they are operating on weekends December until end of April and daily from 26 Dec - 16 Jan.
