Across the open ridgelines of the Bogong High Plains, students discover far more than
just a hiking trail. At Sure Step Ventures, every journey is carefully designed to connect
young people with nature, challenge them appropriately and leave both the
environment and the individual better than we found them.
We aim to create zero waste in the field with utmost respect both environmentally and culturally. Through thoughtful planning, lightweight equipment systems and modern expedition practices, students carry only what they need— reducing pack weight while still maintaining exceptional standards of shelter, warmth, comfort and safety in Australia’s alpine environment.
We believe outdoor meals should be something participants look forward to. Drawing inspiration from the quality and creativity of fine dining, our menus combine fresh ingredients, whole foods and carefully selected expedition meals to create what we jokingly call a “Michelin-star menu for the mountains” — nutritious, delicious meals prepared on camp stoves and enjoyed under vast alpine skies.
Every guide brings a minimum of seven years experience as a qualified outdoor educator and professional guide. Beyond navigation and risk management, our staff share the stories of the landscape — the history of the Bogong High Plains, the significance of its traditional
custodians, the unique flora and fauna that call the region home, and the edible bush foods that have sustained people for generations.
