Experience the majestic and wild beauty of Australia's only true alpine region as we make our way through the breathtaking scenery of Perisher Valley, stunning Blue Lake, and Mount Kosciuszko. This bucket-list adventure will introduce you to the very best of Australia’s High Country. Hiking in a small group with like-minded people and under the care of an expert guide, your journey will encompass glacier-fed freshwater creeks, historic huts, weathered snow gums and cool granite tors carved out during Australia’s last Ice Age.
