Guided Tours To Mt. Kosciuszko

The hike to Australia’s highest peak, Mt Kosciuszko, is rightfully one of the most well-known hikes in the Snowy Mountains. Offering incredible views from the top of Australia at 2,228m elevation, the bragging rights earned by conquering Australia’s highest peak is just a bonus to this incredible hike.  

While this hike has been a favourite of visitors and locals alike for years now, new this year, guests have the option to enhance their bucket list experience by booking a guided tour for the same price as a scenic lift pass. With the scenic lift pass included in the price, this addition invites you to gain an understanding of the Australian Main Range at no extra cost compared to a self-guided walk to the summit.
