Mark G.
Accommodation | An activity that involves an overnight stay, using hard-roofed accommodation such as a cabin, hut or hotel.Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or long60 Best walks | This is one of the NPA's 60 best walks.(Nearly fully booked) Summertime in the Australian Alps is hard to beat with the wildflowers in full bloom and the almost endless possibilities to walk to your hearts content make it a compelling place to visit. As usual our group will stay in the very comfortable Southern Alps ski lodge at Charlottes Pass over the 5 nights which will allow us to explore the best that Kosciuszko has to offer. The lodge is DIY and has comfortable rooms which can accommodate 1 to 5 people with most rooms being either a double or twin arrangement and all rooms have an ensuite. There is a commercial style kitchen, large dining area, 2 lounges, BBQ and various other rooms to relax in! The rates at this lodge are very reasonable and quite a bit cheaper than adjacent lodges! As this is usually my most popular trip that I organise each year I’d advise you to contact me to be added to the booking list as there are only so many bedrooms available. As on previous years there will be several leaders to choose from and a wide range of hikes available from grade 2 to 5.
