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 Snowies Alpine Trail is a beautiful walk through stunning country. As a self-guided group we received great support, our transfers and luggage were managed seamlessly and the accomodation at Jindabyne and Thredbo were excellent. Highly recommend.

We walked the snowy alpine walk and thought it was excellent. So glad we went with Stroll. It was seamless, well organised and wonderful.

The Snowies Alpine trail and Kosciuszko walk is a beautiful part of the world and quite different from anywhere else I’ve walked. Being in the high country and so remote was a fabulous experience. The accommodation and transfers were spot on – thank you AusWalk for an amazing end to the year and start of a new one 🙂

Everything went extremely well. The route and extra options was perfect. Challenging but very doable. Also, the driver we had was prompt, very friendly. Took photos of us to mark the start of trip.

I loved the whole hike. The views were spectacular on varied trails with plenty of up and down. The accommodation was great. We were really well looked after in the lodges by very friendly hosts and the transport worked very well.

All the accommodation was really good and all the food provided was great.

Our Alpine walk was perfectly organised as usual by Stroll. Excellent lodges and food. The scenery was beautiful despite the bad weather. Most enjoyable!

Super impressed with Auswalk. The information they sent through before the walk was excellent and answered all of our questions. Our transfers were great and all accommodation very comfortable with high quality meals included. We found the app that alerted us to whether we were on track or not very useful. We had a wonderful time and would use Auswalk again!

Enjoyed every moment of the trip. Just what I was expecting from this trip. The Snowy Mountains is fantastic place to hike with plenty of different trails. The whether was fantastic all week. This is my second trip with Stroll. Stroll is becoming the go to company for me and my friends. The trips are in great places and the accommodation and food on the trips is always outstanding.

Although we have been bushwalking for over 50 years, we have somehow missed out on the unique alpine terrain which makes this walk so distinctive. The boulder formations near Kosciuszko are awe-inspiring – a sculpture park created by nature. The walk is wonderfully varied, from mountain ash and snow gum forests, to fascinating glacier-created jagged landscape, lakes and 360 degree panoramas from the top of Kosciuszko.

The walk was a unique opportunity to experience the Australian alpine countryside, with the bonus of reaching the summit of Mt Kosciusko. Stroll’s organisation was excellent, with no delays or hitches, and with all accommodation and provided meals of very good quality. Highly recommended!
