How to get there

Historic huts in Alpine National Park

Walking is one of the best ways to discover the variety and beauty of the alpine environment. The day walks described in this leaflet are just a selection from many possibilities. The  walking season lasts from early November until late May as the area is usually snow covered during winter and early spring. Park cars on the roadside and not on the native snow grasses, which are easily damaged.
