Kosciuszko National park, NSW
Mount Kosciuszko
Soak in astounding views from Australia’s highest point.
Get ready for a challenging, high-altitude adventure, as this popular summit hike takes you directly to the top of Australia’s tallest mountain!
Located within the Snowy Mountains in Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales, this area offers breathtaking panoramic views of the mountains. Adorned with gorgeous white peaks and endless rolling hills, this hike is like climbing among the clouds.
Australia's backcountry is infamous for bushwalking. And for good reason. This is the perfect hike to explore trails decorated in alpine wildflowers, spot weathered snow gums, and soak in the stunning rock formations.
Be sure to stay alert of conditions on the day of your climb because even here in Australia, the mountainous weather can change quickly.
Distance: 19km
Duration: 6-8 hours
Cradle Mountain, TAS

Cradle Mountain is famous for its breathtaking natural beauty — from wild alpine moorlands, snowy mountain peaks and glacial lakes to ancient rainforests and river gorges. This pristine land is home to some little Aussie icons who you are bound to run into on your hike, like wombats, echidnas, platypus, possums, wallabies, and even Tasmanian devils!
The magic of Cradle Mountain is bound to stay with you long after you’ve left.
