Set in the heart of New South Wales’ alpine region, the Kosciuszko National Park Walk offers an immersive experience through Australia’s most iconic mountain landscapes. From vibrant wildflower meadows to pristine glacial lakes and the summit of Mt Kosciuszko, this guided Pack-Free walk invites travellers to explore the beauty and biodiversity of the Snowy Mountains at a relaxed pace. The adventure is designed for comfort, allowing guests to carry only a light day pack while the logistics, including accommodation and meals, are fully taken care of.
Each day reveals a different aspect of the national park, with trails leading through snow gum forests, across rugged ridgelines, and past panoramic lookouts that showcase the sheer scale of this alpine environment. Highlights include the Main Range Track with views stretching as far as Victoria, and the rewarding ascent of Mt Kosciuszko, the highest point in Australia. In spring and summer, the region bursts into colour as wildflowers bloom across the high country, creating a truly picturesque setting for each walk.The evenings are spent in hand-picked accommodations where walkers can unwind and enjoy meals featuring local produce, complemented by regional wines. Guided by local experts, guests gain a deeper understanding of the unique ecology and geology of the area, from its glacial history to its rare flora and fauna.
This alpine adventure offers more than scenic trails, it’s an invitation to slow down and connect with the landscape. Whether standing atop the continent or pausing beside a quiet stream, every step in Kosciuszko National Park leaves a lasting impression.
