Snowies Alpine Walk and Mount Kosciuszko - 5 Days

Overview
The 5-day Snowy Mountains Mt Kosciuszko National Park walk is a shortened version of the 6-day version. A mecca for walkers who are keen to experience rugged scenery and beautiful wildflowers, and climb to the top of Mount Kosciuszko. Hike over the plateau via Guthega, Perisher, Blue Lake and Charlotte Pass to Thredbo and soak up the superb views.
This is one of Australia's most breathtaking landscapes. Walk alongside the Snowy River through undulating valleys and above the treeline on the alpine plain. On the last day, take the chairlift ride back to the top to walk down to Thredbo via Dead Horse Gap.
Highlights
- Summit the highest mountain in Australia, Mount Kosciuszko
