Fly from Melbourne to Craig's Hut for Mountain Picnic by Helicopter

Enjoy a spectacular private picnic on top of Victoria's Snowy Mountains by helicopter

Imagine stepping back in time to an era of rugged pioneers and breathtaking landscapes. At the heart of Victoria's High Country lies Craig's Hut, a remarkable symbol of Australia's rich settler history.

Originally constructed as a film set for the iconic "The Man From Snowy River," this humble hut now stands as a testament to the spirit of adventure that shaped Australia. Nestled atop Mt. Stirling and surrounding by 360 degree views of the Victorian High Country, a trip to Craig's Hut isn't just a journey across miles—it's a journey through time.

A scenic helicopter flight over Mount Buller and the Victorian Alps

Your adventure begins at our hangar in Essendon Airport where you'll take to the skies for an aerial view of the lush Yarra Valley. As you pass the impressive Yarra Ranges, the calm expanse of Lake Eildon will unfold beneath you.

Then, as the snowy peaks of the Victorian Alps appear in the distance, you'll find yourself flying over Mount Buller Alpine Lodge with birds-eye views of the ski runs down the mountain. Finally, Mt. Stirling will come into view and you'll know you're nearing your destination: the iconic Craig's Hut. This is Australia at its most raw and beautiful. 

A real taste of Australian history with private helicopter landing at Craig's Hut

Your helicopter will land just metres away from Craig's Hut, where the untouched beauty of Victoria's snowy mountains will be visible in all directions. A short path leads to the rustic charm of Craig's Hut, where every timber and nail has a tale to tell. 

Following its debut in "The Man From Snowy River" movie, the hut grew rapidly in popularity among visitors and tourists before being burnt down in a 2006 fire started by a lightning strike. It was rebuilt in 2007 using more durable timbers such as red gum and iron bark (a sign of Australian resilience) and now provides a cozy retreat for cross-country skiers seeking refuge from the cold in the winter months.

PRO TIP: During your visit, have a look for the large granite boulders surrounding Craig's Hut for the ‘graves’ of Jim Craig’s parents, remnants from the movie set.

Enjoy a helicopter mountain picnic like no other 

Following your exploration of the storied Craig's Hut, take a moment to enjoy a gourmet picnic hamper (optional add-on) as you sit amongst the tranquil serenity of the High Country. As you enjoy your picnic, allow the panoramic views and the peaceful sounds of nature to create a dining experience like no other. This intimate picnic, set against the backdrop of the High Country's pristine beauty, perfectly captures the spirit of your adventure.
