Take on the challenge of Australia’s most famous trek – the Cradle Mountain Overland track – and take in some of Tasmania’s most stunning scenery. With two expert mountain guides at your side, you’ll make your way through temperate rainforest and groves of eucalypts, across alpine moors and through valleys. Skirt the edges of bright blue lakes and take in views of waterfalls and towering peaks in the distance. Camp on the edges of historic huts under star-filled skies, wake up to dramatic landscapes and take the chance to tackle side trips like summitting the island’s highest peak Mt Ossa. This active adventure is one of the best ways to take in this iconic landscape.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PRE-DEPARTURE MEETING
A pre-departure meeting will take place at 3pm the day BEFORE departure at the Aspire Adventure Equipment store in the centre of Launceston – 136 York St. It is important that you bring your gear to this meeting as our team will check the suitability of your gear for the trek. Please note that if your leader deems your gear not suitable you will need to purchase missing items at this meeting. We will not be able to permit any hikers on the track with unsuitable gear. The welcome meeting and gear check will take around 90 minutes.
PACKING & GEAR HIRE
It is essential that you read the Packing List in our Essential Trip Information, and that you bring all necessary items. Backpack, rainwear and sleeping bag – all these items are essential for this trip and can be hired locally (additional cost applies, payable on the ground) if you do not wish to bring your own. Speak to your travel consultant if you need to hire any gear as items must be requested prior to travel. A full list of available items and their prices can be found in the Packing section in your trip notes. The tent and sleeping mats are provided for you.
