About
Chiltern
Chiltern is a perfectly preserved gold-rush era town, built in the late 1850's when diggers tried their luck on the goldfields and fortunes were made and lost.
Their legacy is a streetscape of wide verandahs and historic buildings that tell the stories of European settlers and gold miners. Modern-day Chiltern is a peaceful haven nestled in the hills of the Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park.
Visitors to Chiltern will experience a shared affection for the past, with all the benefits of good old-fashioned hospitality and warmth.

Nestled within the expansive beauty of the Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park lies a true treasure: the Mt Pilot Lookout. Spanning 21,636ha, this park protects a stunning array of eucalypt forests, offering a sanctuary for Red Stringybark, Blakely’s Red Gum, Grey Box, and Mugga Ironbark trees.
Just a stone`s throw away from the picturesque hills of Chiltern and Beechworth, a journey through the park reveals breathtaking sights like the majestic Mount Pilot Range and the serene Woolshed Falls. At the heart of it all lies the Mt Pilot Lookout.
A short 5-minute stroll from the car park takes you to the 545-metre summit of Mt Pilot, where a panoramic 360-degree view awaits, showcasing the untouched beauty of the Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park. On clear days, Mount Buffalo can be seen on the southern horizon, adding another layer of wonder to the vista.
It`s not just a short walk; it`s an invitation to pause, reflect, and immerse yourself in the wonders of nature. And for photographers, it`s a canvas of endless inspiration.
