Park Trek, is hosting a fabulous five day trip to the spectacular Snowy Mountains from 28 December, with New Year's eve day spent walking to the peak of Mount Kosciuszko.

The trip promises to be an unforgettable walking adventure led by one of the region's top guides Trish Griffen.

Home to Australia's five highest peaks, the Snowy Mountains are adorned with lush flora, an abundance of wildlife and sweeping vistas which make it an excellent place to explore on foot.

The Park Trek tour, which is tailored for a small group of lucky travellers, is perfect for those looking for something a little different. The tour caters for all levels of fitness and covers approximately 58 kms over five days.

With clear calm days, the Snowy Mountains in summer is a stunning time of year to soak up the alpine environment. “Fresh air, stunning scenery, good easy walks and the company of like-minded travelers, make for great trip”, says Trish Griffen, Park Trek tour guide.

Throughout the trip, Trish provides insights on the unique flora, fauna, geological features and the history of the area, as walkers take in the magical views from the rooftop of Australia. 

Highlights of the Snowy Mountains Park Trek tour include:

• Crystal clear cascading waters of Thredbo River
• Snowy River to Blue Lakes. This dramatic location has a series of waterfalls cascading into a deep blue pool.  Blue Lakes is arguably the jewel in the crown of the Kosciusko National Park
• Mt Kosciuszko summit – the highest point in Australia
• Four nights in a cosy ski lodge nestled in the heart of the alpine village of Thredbo so walkers can relax in comfort at the end of each day
• Cost - $1,450 (ex Canberra).

Travellers only need to bring their own clothing, a comfortable pair of walking shoes, a sense of adventure, curiosity and fun.
