Fresh air & the great outdoors
Conical Hill Walk
Stretch the families legs with this 30 minute walk up a gentle zig-zag track to the lookout at the top, offering amazing panoramic views over the village. If you have a little Bear Grylls in you, you can walk and climb straight up the track (rather than the zig zag!). Be careful, the track can get slippery in winter.
The great outdoors
Waterfall Track
This winding and moderately steep trail begins at the top of McIntyre Road (accessed off Jollies Pass Road) and heads up the stream edge through dense native forest. The reward at the top is one to remember! 2 & 1/2 hours return.

Mountainbiking in Hanmer Springs
Mountain Biking
Hanmer Springs is now synonymous with fantastic single-track mountain bike riding! The tracks accommodate the novice rider with flat rides through the Heritage Forest, as well as more advanced riding north of Jollies Pass Road. For the more adventurous, explore the expansive back-country roads and trails in the St James Conservation Area and the infamous Jacks Jollies Loop.
If you go into the woods today...
Forest Amble Walk
Looking for a way to burn off some of the kids energy – the Forest Amble walk is perfect. A short 30 minute return walk through the stunning Hanmer Heritage Forest. You’ll have no problem enticing the kids to walk as they search the trail for some very special creatures. The popular wooden sculptures are larger than life – see how many you can find – fantails, mushrooms, a falcon, beavers, a lizard, and even a giant.
