A new hike has opened in the Snowy Mountains

The Snowy Mountains is already a popular winter destination. But the new Snowies Alpine Walk is transforming the destination into a hiker’s paradise in time for summer.

Lace up your hiking boots, a new multi-day hiking trail has opened in Kosciuszko National Park. The Snowies Alpine Walk is a 55-kilometre spectacular that cleaves the alpine roof of Australia. 29 kilometres of the newly constructed track links Guthega, Charlotte Pass, Perisher and Bullocks Flat with existing trails to create an immersive path through breathtaking natural landscapes.

The Snowies Alpine Walk meanders through pristine alpine ecosystems, traces ravines and threads between majestic snow gums before guiding walkers to the summit of Mount Kosciuszko.

Sections of the trail can be completed as day trips, with shuttle services available for transfers. Alternatively, the trail can be walked over four days, with a range of accommodation options peppered throughout the trail at Guthega Village, Charlotte’s Pass Village, Perisher and Lake Crackenback.
