An exposed tops trip with easy access thanks to the ski fields on the Craigieburn Range. The track climbs steeply from Broken River ski field to Nervous Knob and the ridge to Hamilton Peak (1922m).

There aren’t many places to hide from the wind up here, so ensure you are prepared with windproof clothing. Descend to Craigieburn ski field, off track at first and then joining a track that eventually leads to SH73.

To reach your car at Broken River, you’ll need to cross a pass at the 1500m contour. The route drops steeply to a track that will then take you back to the ski field road and a short walk to your car.
