Overland Track

"Bookings or registrations required all year round. The iconic Overland Track is Australia's premier alpine trek. This exhilarating and life-changing journey attracts walkers from across the globe. Beginning at the iconic Cradle Mountain and ending at Australia’s deepest lake – Lake St Clair, this 65km, six-day trek takes you through the heart of the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, part of the magnificent Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Your journey will be physically demanding, emotionally challenging and scenically spectacular. This is a landscape of glacially carved valleys, ancient rainforests, fragrant eucalypt forests, golden buttongrass moorlands and beautiful alpine meadows. Optional side-trips take you to cascading waterfalls and mountain summits, including Tasmania’s highest peak, Mount Ossa (1617m). The Overland Track is about you and your time in the wilderness, so while six days is the average time taken to walk the track, you can create your own pace depending on how many rest days or side-trips you wish to enjoy. WARNING: The Overland Track is a serious undertaking, for well-prepared walkers, with a good level of fitness and who understand the risks of walking in a remote alpine area. Overland Track Pass Fees apply from 1 October - 31 May inclusive: Adults - AU$285 Children (17 years and under) - AU$245 Concession​ - AU$245​ Walker numbers are capped each day, so bookings often sell out for the season ahead very quickly. For this reason, we haven't been able to tick off 'The OT' yet. Another option is to take a commercial tour - and we've added a link to options there for you.
