7 DAYS
Moderate
The high peaks of Kosciuszko National Park are a mecca for walkers keen to see rugged scenery, masses of spectacular wildflowers and the summit of Mt Kosciuszko. The walking is exhilarating yet relatively easy for an alpine environment. Be rewarded with spectacular views as you walk each day, mountain fresh air and the sense of completion as you wind your way through the mountains from Wragges Creek to Thredbo.
Follow the Aqueduct Trail, learning about the mighty Snowy Mountains Scheme and cross the Snowy River. On the last day, we take the chairlift ride back to the top of Mt Kosciuszko and walk down from the summit to Thredbo via Dead Horse Gap to cap off what is an amazing linear trek through the alps. This is undoubtedly one of Australia’s most breathtaking landscapes.
Start in Jindabyne any time after 2 pm. There is no walking scheduled for today but if you arrive early enough you can walk for many kilometres around the shores of picturesque Lake Jindabyne.
Walking: Easy / 6 km / 2 hrs / optional
Meals: No meals included today
Accommodation: Jindy Inn with ensuites, Jindabyne
After a transfer high into the mountains, the walking begins along the stunning Illawaong trail. Beyond the suspension bridge is a relatively new track that was specifically carved out along the Snowy River valley because it allows walkers to now access this absolutely stunning area. The track meaders around Blue Lake and then down to and over the Snowy River to Charlottes Pass. From Charlottes, the walk begins its stunning trajectory out and over the Alpine plain, making its way alongside the escarpment for kilometre upon kilometre, with continuous astonishing views down over Thredbo Valley. From Porcupine Rocks, it’s a gentle stroll downhill to your accommodation in Perisher. This walk can be shortened by starting at Charlottes Pass.
Walking: Moderate / 20 km or 10 km/ 6– 7 hrs or 3 – 3.5 hrs
Meals: Cooked breakfast, walkers lunch and a chef-prepared two-course dinner included
Accommodation: Alpine Lodge with ensuites
The walk begins with the easy Aqueduct Trail. Marvel at one of the greatest engineering feats in the world – the mighty Snowy Mountains Scheme built in the 1950s and 60s to change the direction of the rivers and provide water for farmers on the dry inland plains. The path meanders beside the scheme’s aqueducts, rivers and dams that opened up this isolated country. The route continues via Guthega Alpine village, set on the banks of the Snowy River. From here we hike up and over Mnt Perisher via Blue Cow enjoying magnificent views over Perisher Valley. The last section of the walk makes its way down the mountain and back to Perisher and your accommodation.
Walking: Moderate / 19.8 km / 5.5 –6.5 hrs / shorter option available
Meals: Cooked breakfast, walkers lunch and a chef-prepared two-course dinner included
Accommodation: Alpine Lodge with ensuites
Even if you weren’t aware that Australia has glacial lakes, you’ll see several on this walk above the tree line. Cross our famous Snowy River, walk through fields carpeted in wildflowers, stroll along high grassy ridges and chill your drink in icy Blue Lake. The highest peaks in the west are a striking visual treat as you walk above the treeline. To the east sub-alpine woodlands of gnarled snowgums give way to tall alpine ash, cypress pine and mountain eucalypt forests in the dry rugged areas along the lower Snowy River.
Watch out for sphagnum bogs – large mossy plants that hold six times their weight in water, releasing it slowly into the alpine streams.
Walking: Moderate / 13.3 km / 5.5–7 hrs / shorter and longer options available
Meals: Cooked breakfast, walkers lunch and a chef-prepared two-course dinner included
Accommodation: Alpine Lodge with ensuites
Reaching the summit of the highest mountain in Australia, Mt Kosciuszko, is a highlight not to be missed. You’ll get to share the summit with people from all over the world.

Walking: Moderate / 15.5km / 4–5 hrs / longer option available
Meals: Cooked breakfast, walkers lunch and a chef-prepared two-course dinner included
Accommodation: Boali Lodge with ensuites, Thredbo Alpine Village
Take the easy way and ride the chairlift up. Today’s walk descends through fields of alpine wildflowers and snow gum forests to the Thredbo Valley. You might just be one of the lucky ones to spot wild brumbies roaming the plains. Walk quietly in this special, pristine place. Finish the day with an easy stroll along the banks of the swift Thredbo River as it meanders down to the village.
Walking: Easy to Moderate / 10km / 3 – 4 hrs / optional extra 3.5km 1 hr walk available
Meals: Cooked breakfast and a walkers lunch

This walk is rated as moderate with ample opportunity to push yourself to make this more challenging with additional options offered. All tracks remain well-marked, but the alpine terrain is at times undulating. There are some rough tracks along with gradual ascents to the summits, plus some steep uphill and downhill sections.
This walking holiday starts and finishes in Jindabyne with transfers between accommodation and sections of the walk. Each walking day you’ll cover an average of just over 15km, but with the options, we offer along the way that can be increased. As part of the walk, you’ll even take an optional ride on a chairlift for part of the way. We move your luggage ahead to your next accommodation at each stage, so all you need to carry is what you need for the day.
For what to bring please refer to Gear Advice on our FAQ section.
The Roof of Australia commences in Jindabyne, approximately halfway between Sydney and Melbourne.
The easiest way to get to Jindabyne is to drive. There is a daily coach service from Canberra to Cooma – you would then need to catch a taxi from Cooma to Jindabyne. You can also fly from Sydney to Cooma on Aeropelican and catch a private transfer to Jindabyne. We can supply more detailed information on request. However, it is more convenient and often cheaper to hire a car and leave it in Jindabyne during this walking holiday.
The tracks are good underfoot but there is some elevation to this walk – but only on some of the days. The days are about an average of 18 km, however, that is pushed up by the two long days at 20 km. You will need a good level of walking fitness to enjoy this walk. See the 5 or 6-day versions for a moderate-rated walk. The walk snakes its way through the Snowys and includes all the epic new walks that have been constructed these last few years. It is somewhat challenging, but well worth the effort.
This walk can be done any time from the start of December to 20th April. This mountain environment is about 10–15 degrees cooler than Melbourne and Sydney, and there is a possibility of bad weather even during summer. January and February are usually warm and the alpine wildflowers are at their best. December and March are usually mild and considered by many people to be the best times to visit.
See the Bureau of Meteorology’s information about average temperatures and rainfall at different times of the year.
We require that you have adequate travel insurance against potential losses, damage or injury, including cancellation costs and loss of luggage.
For all trips that require international travel, you must have purchased travel insurance that also includes medical evacuation coverage.
We also charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your walking holiday after we have confirmed it to cover costs incurred from our suppliers and in the office. See the FAQ section for more information.
For nearly 30 years we have taken pride in providing seamlessly organised walking holidays, but we know, even with that in mind, that you’ll have many more questions. You will receive a very detailed information pack and itinerary approximately 6 weeks out from departure outlining all the fine details and much more.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask one of our destination consultants or to speak with one of our guides. You can get in touch with us via our contact form or email us at info@stroll.com
