Each autumn, the deciduous trees in the town of Bright and the surrounding countryside put on a breathtaking display of colour. From its location on the beautiful Ovens River in the valley below Mount Buffalo, Bright's avenues of elms, chestnuts, poplars and scarlet oaks combine with the gardens of local residents for the autumnal display. Let Bright's great outdoors entertain you year-round thanks to its proximity to the Alpine National Park and the snowfields of Falls Creek, Mount Hotham and Mount Buffalo. Road cycling and mountain biking enthusiasts flock to the area, whether to cruise the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail or tackle the 7 Peaks Alpine Ascent. Hiking, kayaking and even ballooning are guaranteed the keep the heart-rate pumping. Follow the walking and bicycle paths around the town and view its picturesque natural setting from lookouts over the valley and surrounding mountains. Along the river trails you'll find great fishing spots that are renowned for trout as well as safe swimming holes for a refreshing dip on warm summer days. The concentration of food and wine from the Alpine Valleys is one of Bright's most popular attractions with excellent wineries, stunning produce, award-winning restaurants and a casual café culture to sate every appetite. Time your visit to coincide with popular local events including the Bright Autumn Festival, the Bright Spring Festival or Darker Days Festival – held by Bright Brewery as a celebration of winter in Victoria's High Country.
