Mount Feathertop
Victoria's second-highest peak, at 1,922 metres. The Razorback ridge track from Mount Hotham is one of Australia's classic alpine walks.
Mount Feathertop rises to about 1,922 metres and is Victoria's second-highest peak. Its isolated form resembles a feather, and it is especially striking when snow-covered in winter. The most popular route is the Razorback track, which starts near Mount Hotham and follows an open ridge for about 22 km return. The views along the way are excellent. You can walk it as a day trip or camp overnight at Federation Hut. Another route, the Houdini Ridge track, starts from Harrietville and is steep. Mountain weather changes quickly, and conditions can turn cold even in summer, so carry plenty of water and windproof clothing, and check the weather and bushfire warnings before you set out.
