Alpine area just west of the St Arnaud Range
The lower elevations are covered primarily in beech forests, while higher elevations (above about 5,000 feet) are alpine.
The name of the range commemorates the French Marshal Jacques Leroy de Saint-Arnaud (1798-1854).
Recreation
The St Arnaud track ascends the western side of the range from the village of Saint Arnaud (about 3 hours climb).[1]
The Rainbow Ski Area is on the eastern side of the range.
