It attracts over 2.1 million visitors each year. A popular drawcard for the Snowy Mountains, the park allows people to experience alpine landscapes, fascinating limestone caves, wildflower meadows, and expansive mountain scenery.

It also has a rich natural and cultural history – and we want to show it all to you! Our 5-day Kosciuszko National Park pack-free guided walk showcases the very best of Snowy Mountains.

The mountains are a traditional gathering place for many Aboriginal groups that travelled to the area for trade and ceremony. There are over 1,000 recorded archaeological sites in the park.
