King Valley
Chrismont is located in King Valley, a unique lifestyle destination within the Victorian High Country.
Its rolling hills and majestic King River hug the charming settlements of Cheshunt, Myrrhee and Whitfield, and with a climate and topography similar to Italy’s Piedmont and Tuscany, King Valley quickly became home to the many Italian families arriving in Australia during the post WWII immigration boom, creating a wholesome rural community with a vibrant food and wine culture like no other.
Lying at the base of the Victorian Alps, the region enjoys a pristine climate with breathtaking scenery of undulating valleys, mountain streams and generous skies, luring visitors from around the world to bushwalk through its natural beauty or cycle its off-road trails while visiting its cellar doors, farm gate producers and cafes along the way.
It’s a tranquil retreat for lovers of the great outdoors with a close proximity to the state’s renowned national parks, ski fields, bushland camping grounds and Alpine lakes. Its colourful colonial history also makes King Valley a destination for history buffs to retrace the footsteps of bushrangers, including the Ned Kelly Trail.
