Essential crag checks

Access, closures, permits & safety

Access

Reach Mount Buffalo via Mount Buffalo Road from the Great Alpine Road, then choose a suitable climbing sector around The Gorge. Check the park's current road and site notices before setting out.

Parking

The Gorge Day Visitor Area car park closes in winter; Parks Victoria directs visitors to park at Mount Buffalo Chalet and walk to The Gorge. Confirm the closest permitted parking for a specific climb.

Permits & access rules

Winter snow can affect Mount Buffalo Road. Snow chains must be carried and fitted where signs direct during the declared snow season; some park roads have seasonal closures.

Safety

The Gorge has exposed alpine cliffs. Prepare for cold or rapidly changing conditions, and check winter road conditions and closure notices.

Closures and permit rules can change without notice. Recheck the official land manager before departure.
