Itinerary
This is a fantastic walk starting in Charlotte Pass and heading down into the valley following the famous Snowy River. This route takes you to the Illawong Swing Bridge that is a cable bridge similar to something you might find in Nepal or the Himalayas.
This is an incredible route through some stunning alpine landscape that is both challenging and serene. This area is known for some fairly erratic weather with snow even being recorded in the middle of Summer. Taking plenty of layers is essential to being safe and having a good time in this rugged area.
If trail is open we will continue to Guthega before returning back to Charlotte Pass.
This route has a mix of terrain, amazing views and some stunning alpine lakes along its length.
Going anticlockwise, we will start at Charlotte Pass carpark and go to Kosciuszko first, rather than going down to the river and up to blue lake first, it is much more enjoyable but also gets the uphills out of the way so you can enjoy a downhill decent for the last few hours as you’re low on energy.
This route has a mix of terrain, amazing views and some stunning alpine lakes along its length. The last section up to the summit can be quite difficult depending on the wind chill factor which can make this hike much harder.
Toilets are available on this trail, but water is not. Do not come unprepared – shorts are not recommended. Bring equipment for storm protection at all times of year, as the temperature can drop 20°c in an hour. Especially bring a wind shell. The route is heavily paved and has metal grates in many places.
The route features a few side treks to Blue Lake and Mount Townsend’s summit to ensure that you can enjoy the views the whole way.
Blue Lake is the highlight after the summit – it is the cirque lake which was formed from glacial erosion, it is one of 4 in Australia.
This is a 14km one way walk with option to turn around at Porcupine Rock (20km return) or continue into Perisher and do a 28km return walk
Track leaves the village at the bottom of the concrete hill into CP before you get to the carpark. Track pops out in Perisher near the Parrawa ski lodge on Galaxia Place.
This out and back route begins and ends from the parking area at the Charlotte Pass Lookout at the end of Kosciuszko Road.
Enjoy making your way out to Mount Twynam (2196m) and back, passing the Blue Lake Lookout along the way. There is also the option to make an adventurous detour up to summit Tenison Woods Knoll and/or The Sentinel on your way back.
This may involve a river crossing so bring a small towel to dry your feet.
We expect to take around 4 hrs and we should hopefully be on the road home no later than 1.00pm
