The Snowy Mountains' beauty beckons, year-round, with the Kosciuszko Summit Walk. Choose from the 13km standard route, the 17km scenic route via Merrit Nature Trail, or an 8km shortcut with the Scenic Chairlift. Expect gradual climbs, varied terrain, and unpredictable mountain weather.

For a true adventure, camp overnight. Pitch your tent near historic Seaman's Hut (1929) or modern Rawson Flats Hut. Remember, huts fill up during holidays and are for emergencies only. Always check the weather before you go, as Kosciuszko National Park can experience rapid changes. Let someone know your route and expected return time.

Follow Leave No Trace principles: pack out your trash, minimize your impact, and respect the delicate wildlife and vegetation. Layers are essential for adjusting to potentially dropping night-time temperatures. For bikers, a path from Charlotte Pass to Rawson's Hut exists, but the final summit ascent requires walking.
