Kosciuszko walk Thredbo to Mount Kosciuszko

Superb, well maintained hike towards Australia's Tallest Mountain. You need to take chairlift half way to go up.

Absolutely amazing.The guided hike from Thredbo I highly recommended, not only the tips of the hike, we also learn so much of the history, the habitats, Flora etc.

Beautiful walk and small streams everywhere and reachable, loved the walks...mountains in every direction.

Hiked to the summit in the middle of summer. Absolutely amazing views in all directions. The track is on a raised surface for the majority of the hike with minimal steep sections, suitable for families with walking children etc. First time i've hiked to the summit and the weather has been clear. It is deceptively cold as you ascend, it was 30 degrees in Thredbo village but only about 12 degrees and windy at the summit, so pack for all weather. The chair lift to the start of the trail is expensive ($45 for an adult) however you can walk from Thredbo village. This will add around 8km and a 500m steep ascent to your return journey. I've hiked three times now in all weather, next challenge is a mid winter ascent and camp.

Is sounds super challenging but really anyone with even a moderate fitness level can achieve this easily. Take the chair lift from Thredbo and then the walkway has only gentle inclines. Only at the end doesn't get a bit steeper, but by then you are committed. We took 4 hours, so allow 5 with a stop at the top. Suncream and wide hat is a must. It will be colder on the walk, and we had a windy day so colder still. The views you get from the top make it totally worth it.

Ask around to be sure the weather up top will support what ever kind of hike you want to do.

Lovely day, took the chairlift up then walked to Kosciuszko. Great to see so many people enjoying the playground in summer. Cafes open as well.

Amazing feeling and expedition to reach the highest peak of Australia. Even in December we had seen a patch of snow areas. Walk is good well defined. Scenic and few areas are challenging. We took a chairlift from Thredbo. If you are planning to take chairlift make sure that you plan your time wisely so won't miss the last chairlift down. My 8 year old son did the whole walk without any fuss. Get dressed in layers as it get cold and the same time you feel hot. Food and drinks are essential to carry. Take asthma pump if you need it. Have fun and enjoy.

The initial hike is the toughest as your get use to the walk (after the chairlift). The rest is a breeze as you can walk at your own pace and even have a bathroom break. The views along the walk is phenomenal and the flora around is unique. If it is a dry day, do not bother bringing a raincoat but brings multiple layers that can be easily taken off. Remind yourself to bring multiple layers of clothing in the first place as you cant create layers if u get cold but can remove the layers if it gets warm. On a sunny day it is highly recommended you wear sunscreen and reapply every 20 mins. The summit is worth it.
