K7 Snow Camping

Overview

Australia's highest peak, Mount Kosciuszko, can be reached on a 13-kilometre round-trip hike once you jump off the chairlift from Thredbo. In the warmer months, this is an incredible way to explore the mountain's historic settler huts, weathered snow gums, alpine wildflowers and lofty lakes.

But if you're keen to stand atop the 2,228-metre summit among mid-winter snowfall, book a K7 Snow Camping trip. Travelling on snowshoes (best for first-timers) or skis, you'll traverse the mountain while learning alpine survival skills from your expert guide and watching spectacular sunsets over the snow-capped peaks. This truly luminous experience is only available for small groups (fewer than six people), so it's a chance to make the mountain your own.
