Main Range Track
Highlights
The Main Range Track is one of Australia's most iconic day hikes, offering a 22km loop through Kosciuszko National Park. This trail takes you above the tree line, across the Snowy River, and up to Mt Carruthers and Rawson’s Pass. The views are breathtaking, and the experience is unforgettable.
The best time to visit is between December and March, when wildflowers are in full bloom. Be sure to check conditions at the Snowy Region Visitors Centre and register for your walk before starting this challenging but rewarding adventure.
Adult Supervision RecommendedDue to its length, high elevation, and challenging terrain, this track requires adult supervision for younger or less experienced hikers.
