Snowgum walking track

Snow Gums boardwalk has one of the greatest – and most easily accessible – views in Kosciuszko National Park. Do you want to see Mount Kosciuszko and some of the country’s other high peaks? They’re right there in front of you. It’s like you’re in a grandstand.The boardwalk starts at the Charlotte Pass turning circle and follows the tree line that separates the sub-alpine from the expansive alpine landscape. The snow gums you’ll see here – some of them hundreds of years old – are dramatically twisted and stunted due to the blasting effects of wind, snow and ice. In spring, you’ll see wildflowers such as yellow billy buttons, anemone buttercups and paper daises, blooming at ground level. There’ll also likely be snowdrifts higher up, where there are no trees.The winding boardwalk and lookout platforms are suitable for everyone, and informative signage along the way is a great introduction to the area's unique landscapes, plants and animals. Around 200m from Charlotte Pass lookout, steps lead up to a scenic viewing platform, a few more steps and you'll reach Main Range lookout, which spoils you with sweeping views across the magnificent Snowy Mountains. See if you can spot Mount Kosciuszko summit trail heading up to Rawson Pass, or Main Range walk as it crosses the Snowy River.
