Is Trig Track Walhalla unpaved?

The track is not easy; it is totally unpaved with a loose rutted surface. Stretching over 5.5 km (3.41 miles), it runs from Walhalla Road to One Speck Track, featuring a very bumpy terrain unsuitable for average cars. A 4WD vehicle and an experienced driver are required, and the track crosses the Aberfeldy River.

Is Trig Track Walhalla open?

The road tops out at an elevation of 887m (2,910ft) above sea level. It is seasonally closed from June to November, and especially challenging during wet conditions.

How challenging is Trig Track Walhalla?

The trail has 12 sharp switchbacks that resemble an amusement park ride. Due to its steepness, danger, and maintenance issues, there was a risk of closing Trig Track. However, rather than shutting it down, park authorities executed a unique solution: a series of tight switchbacks that require drivers to make multi-point turns, effectively reversing up the hill in sections. This unusual approach provides a surreal experience.
