Great Ocean Walk

The Great Ocean Walk is a 104km point-to-point coastal trekking route in Victoria, Australia. Connecting Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostles, the trail follows the Shipwreck Coast within the Great Otway National Park. The route traverses mixed terrain including Mountain Ash forests, coastal heathland, and tidal beaches. It serves as a terrestrial alternative to the Great Ocean Road, providing access to remote cliff-top vantage points above the Southern Ocean. Surface composition consists of managed forest tracks, purpose-built boardwalks, and segments of uncompacted sand and rocky littoral platforms.

Mount Nuolja (Njullá in Sami) is the striking, 1,169m alpine peak that dominates the skyline above the Abisko Tourist Station. Serving as the dramatic gateway to Abisko National Park, it offers two distinct experiences. Hardcore hikers can tackle the steep, 11km round-trip climb from the base via the Rihdonjira nature trail, ascending alongside rushing waterfalls and dense birch forests. For those seeking the views without the strenuous climb, the open-air chairlift glides silently up to the STF Aurora Sky Station at 900m. From there, it is merely a 2km (1.2-mile), rocky, but highly accessible hike to the true summit. The peak offers explosive, uninterrupted panoramic views over the massive, mirror-like Lake Torneträsk and the iconic 'Lapporten' (The Lapponian Gate) U-shaped valley in the distance.
