Hike summary

A challenging seven kilometre return hike to 856 metres, this peak offers a more wilderness type of experience as it is less often climbed. The track may be overgrown and the final section requires some rock scrambling.

Mount Magog is the double-headed peak next to Talyuberlup in the Stirling Ranges. Starting from a Picnic Area, the track follows a four wheel drive track for about two kilometres, with only gentle climbing. Once the track reaches the base of the peak, the climb is steep and tough. Eventually the track leads to a saddle from where it is a short and steep climb, involving some rock scrambling, to ascend to the top of Mount Magog's south peak. The total ascent is 500 metres over 3.5 kilometres.

Let someone know before you go

It’s a good idea to let someone know where you’re going. Fill in a trip intention form to send important details about your trip to your emergency contact. If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call. If you believe your life is at risk, activate your personal locator beacon (PLB), then make your position visible to rescue teams and keep warm and dry.
