Mount Beauty Airport is snuggled into the idyllic Kiewa Valley, a short stroll from Mt Beauty village. It is the home of Alpine Soaring Mount Beauty Inc. a small and unique club that offers suitably qualified glider pilots the freedom to soar over Victoria's spectacular mountains and valleys, and venture further North into the flat lands.
At Alpine Soaring Mount Beauty our mission is to foster a thriving and inclusive community of gliding enthusiasts who embody the values of inclusion, cooperation, friendliness, and safety.
We are dedicated to creating an environment where all individuals feel welcome and empowered to pursue their passion for gliding. Through collaboration and mutual support, we strive to create lasting friendships and a sense of camaraderie among our members. We prioritise safety in all aspects of our operations, ensuring that every member can enjoy the thrill of gliding while maintaining the highest standards of security and well-being.
We operate from the base of the Victorian Alps' highest mountain (Mt Bogong, 6,516 ft. or 1,986m).
From Mount Beauty township to its summit, Mount Bogong rises more than 5,200 ft (1,600 metres), making it one of the highest peaks in Australia.
The Club is affiliated with Gliding Australia (Australia's peak gliding body) and the Victorian Soaring Association. We can give you the opportunity to experience winch launching. Pilots require full GPC, Independent Operator qualifications and currency. Go to our contact page and get in touch for advice if unsure.
So easy to get here: an easy 3.5 hr drive from Melbourne via the Hume Highway, or take a leisurely route up through Mansfield and Cheshunt and enjoy lunch en-route at one of the great wineries and breweries in the King Valley. The Cheshunt road is beautiful but a little steep and twisty in places so take care with trailers. See the map below.
