Larapinta Trail
The Larapinta Trail is described by Australian Geographic as “one of the world’s best long-distance arid-zone walks”. The Larapinta trail weaves through the spectacular backbone of the West MacDonnell Ranges from Alice Springs to one of the highest peaks in Australia’s Red Centre, Mt Sonder. It covers a variety of terrains from high exposed ridgelines with exhilarating views to lush sheltered gorges, dry river valleys and secluded waterholes. Our private campsite offers a comfortable and secluded setting and the remoteness allows us to experience the astonishing mystique of this ancient landscape to the fullest.
Each evening while on the Larapinta Trail we enjoy wonderful food, wine and conviviality around the open fire and sleep in comfort under the stars. This is an extraordinary and remote place that offers walkers a truly unique and unforgettable adventure.
