New Moon Hike - Mt Kosciuszko

• Before The Hike: Meet and greet with your experienced guide outside Valley Terminal at the large Walks & Hikes map. View Map
• Meeting Time: Dependent on moon rise time
• Return to Thredbo: 4WD meets you at Eagles Nest to return you to Thredbo Village around 10:30pm
• Age: 15+ Years
• Grade 3 Walk: Suitable for most ages. The track is on an elevated metal grate, part paved along the way. At the end there’s a short steep section

As we will be hiking from the warmer afternoon into the cooler/cold evening a layering system with many light layers is recommended to deal with the changing temperatures. We recommend that you pack for all weather conditions when heading up the mountain…

• Waterproof/wind stopper jacket, rain pants are also recommended.
• A warm layer, fleece or wool is ideal.
• Minimum 1L of water per person.
• Hat, sunscreen and sunglasses.
• Enclosed walking shoes, preferably boots with good socks.
• Dinner and snacks (food outlets will be closed on your return to Thredbo so remember to pack something hearty).
• Gloves and a warm hat.
• Camera.
• Any medication that might be needed (eg. Ventolin).

It’s important to let your guide know if you have any pre-existing medical conditions (such as motion sickness, fear of heights, heart conditions, pregnancy, asthma and musculoskeletal issues) prior to the walk. This will help us cater the walk to your needs and make your trip more enjoyable.

Thredbo Guided Hikes reserves the right to cancel a hike at any time.

This may be due to but not limited to any of the following:

• Lightning
• Winds over 70km/hour
• Extreme weather conditions: fire, rain, hail or snow
• Poor air quality
• Medical incident

In the event that a hike is cancelled prior to the commencement date, a full refund will be issued. No refund will be issued if the hike is cancelled or the goal of the hike is not met during the activity.

We encourage guests to Leave No Trace and observe the Hiking Responsibility Code:

• Pack a reusable water bottle – our guides will point out the refill station at the bottom of the chairlifts
• Dispose of all waste properly – no bins are located on hiking trails; all waste is to be disposed in appropriate locations across Thredbo Village
• Travel on durable surfaces – remain on designated walking tracks or travel on surfaces which can tolerate trampling. Much of the alpine ecosystem is fragile and cannot recover from trampling
• Leave what you find – do not pick or remove anything natural
• Respect wildlife – appreciate wildlife through quiet and observation from afar
• Be considerate of hosts and other visitors – remain on left hand side of hiking trails to allow for 2-way traffic and others to pass. Do not play music aloud when hiking.
