Snowy Mountains
Snowy Mountains Alpine Walk
The Rooftop of Australia
Kosciuszko National Park is the heart of the Snowy Mountains - a realm of alpine grandeur where rugged peaks, sweeping ridge lines, and rare high-country ecosystems come into vivid life.
Snowy Mountains Alpine Walk
Guided Walking Tour
Explore Australia’s alpine heart with sweeping mountain vistas, glacial lakes, summer wildflowers, and epic stories. A pack-free high-country adventure with lodge accommodation, all meals, transfers, expert guiding and park fees included.
Summer wildflowers carpet the meadows; snow gums twist and steady above high valleys; glacial lakes hide in cirques; and creatures like the mountain pygmy-possum thrive in ecological niches found nowhere else.
This region’s story runs deep. The Ngarigo People have cared for this Country for thousands of years, holding knowledge of the land, the seasons, and the pathways. Later, the Snowy Mountains gained fame through early grazing stations, the establishment of the nation’s ski culture, and monumental engineering feats like the Snowy Hydro Scheme — layers of history that shape both landscape and identity.
For those who walk here, the Snowies offer clarity and quiet - crisp mountain air, expansive views, and a pace set by nature. Whether you’re seeking challenge, reflection, or simply time in true wild alpine country, this region delivers in full.
