Kosciuszko's latest day walk is sure to please

We love promoting new walks and this new one at Kosciuszko National Park is a beauty!

Completed earlier this year by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), the Guthega to Charlotte Pass walk is one section of grander multi-day walk.

The 9km day walk begins at Guthega village and winds through sub-alpine landscape, following the beautiful upper Snowy River, before arriving at picturesque Charlotte Pass.

Walkers can immerse themselves in high-country plains and enjoy panoramic views of the majestic Main Range, as well as wildflowers, gnarled snow gums and unique wildlife.

A suspension bridge at the highest elevation in Australia (1627m) also features along the track, allowing walkers to cross scenic Spencers Creek.

Special elevated steel walkways are also in place in sections along the track to protect the sensitive alpine environment, including alpine bogs and threatened species.

The Guthega to Charlotte Pass walk is the first main section open to the public of a larger multi-day walking experience – the Snowies Alpine Walk – that is currently in construction and due for completion in late 2023.

The completed Snowies Alpine Walk will deliver an exceptional 55km, 4-day walk, that links Guthega, Charlotte Pass, Perisher and Bullocks Flat with up to 29km of newly constructed track, combined with existing tracks.

Visitors will experience the beauty of walking alongside the Snowy River and across the country’s highest peaks, including reaching the summit of Australia’s highest mountain, the 2228m Mount Kosciuszko.

The next stage of the walking experience – Charlotte Pass to Perisher, via Porcupine Rocks – is currently in construction and is due for completion in early 2023. For more info click here.
