CRADLE
MOUNTAIN
HUTS WALK
OVER SIX DAYS, EXPLORE ONE OF AUSTRALIA’S
MOST SPECTACULAR WORLD HERITAGE AREAS
WHILE TREKKING AUSTRALIA’S ICONIC
OVERLAND TRACK IN THE PEACEFUL AND
EXQUISITE TERRAIN OF CRADLE MOUNTAIN –
LAKE ST CLAIR NATIONAL PARK.
At the end of each day, wind down in the warmth and comfort of the only private hut
accommodation on the track. These eco-huts have been discreetly located off the
main trail and offer hot showers, a drying room, guest lounge with open fire and private
twin-share rooms. At day’s end your wilderness guides prepare an inspired three-course
dinner while you sit back and relax with a glass of Tasmanian wine.
This itinerary maximises opportunities for optional side trips including Mt Ossa –
Tasmania’s highest peak (weather permitting), Lake Will and a number of lookouts
and waterfalls. Each day you’ll walk between seven and twelve kilometres (excluding
side trips) over varied terrain including button grass plains, temperate rainforests,
alpine meadows, lichen covered trails and open moorland. The park is home to
Tasmanian Devils, wombats, wallabies and an array of birdlife. At the end of this
six-day adventure, enjoy the spectacular 17-kilometre boat trip across Lake St Clair
before returning to Launceston.
