Commencing in the heart of Baw Baw's Alpine Village the Mount Baw Baw Summit Circuit traverses some of the most scenic alpine terrain as you hike among the snow gums and enjoy magnificent valley views which stretch out endlessly over Gippsland. The circuit follows established trails such as the Village Trail, Summit Trail, Maltese Trail, and Muellers Trail as it makes its way to the summit of Mount Baw Baw (elevation 1564m) and back. It is a moderately easy circuit up and over the summit of Mount Baw Baw, with a pinch of a climb to get there early on, and then downhill all the way back to the village.
Total distance: 3535 m
Max elevation: 1573 m
