National Parks and Reserves

Snow Gums boardwalk is an easy walk from Charlotte Pass lookout to Main Range lookout, offering awe-inspiring views of Australia’s highest peaks in alpine Kosciuszko.

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.
