The Huts Walk links three of Mt Hotham’s significant historic huts, each which represent an important role in the development of the Hotham Alpine Resort. These iconic huts include Spargo’s (gold mining), Derrick Hut (ski touring), and Silver Brumby Hut (representative of cattle grazing and as used in the film Silver Brumby). The Huts Walk offers bushwalkers a unique opportunity to experience some of the high country’s rarely seen significant natural and historic landscapes. Including open high plains to steep narrow valley of Swindler’s Creek. Access to the Huts Walk is via the Davenport Access Tk and the Cobungra Ditch, or the Alpine Crossing Trailhead at Loch Car park.  See Track Notes for more details.

Huts have played an important role in the European history of the Mt Hotham region. From the earliest crude buildings of the miners and cattle graziers, wayside shelters for early travellers and tourists and the important refuges for the pioneer skiers. The Huts Walk takes in three important huts, each which represent an important place in the history of Australia’s Alpine region.
