Overview

The Australian Alps Walking Track (AAWT) is Australia’s premier long-distance alpine bushwalk. At 680 kilometres in length, it traverses Australia’s finest high country between Tharwa (ACT) and Walhalla (VIC).

Passing through terrain that is inaccessible by vehicle, the track offers the potential to explore some of the most remote and rugged areas within Victoria, NSW, and the ACT. Unlike the standard tourist hikes of Australia, the remote nature of this route provides an authentic wilderness experience without the crowds.

This trip tackles the northern third of the AAWT, from Tharwa (ACT) to Dead Horse Gap (NSW). Traversing the high plains of the Snowy Mountains, explore historic alpine huts, spot native wildflowers and summit Australia’s highest peak, Mount Kosciuszko.

On this trip, you have the opportunity to develop your outdoor skills and knowledge. Their world-class guides are passionate about sharing their experience. Learn how to lighten your pack, nail your nutrition and navigate in the backcountry. Have the confidence to pursue unguided multi-day hiking trips or even take on a thru hike like the Pacific Crest Trail!
