Description

This 6-day Cradle Mountain Huts Walk in Tasmania, Australia, promises to be one of the most memorable and exquisite experiences you will encounter, as I guide you around the myriad of stunning forests, lakes, mountains, waterways, valleys and fields, whilst also taking the time to take in and admire the abundance of native flora and fauna.

Cradle Mountain is nestled within the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park in the centre of the Australian island state of Tasmania, and is a very popular hiking and walking spot. The area is renowned for its rich biodiversity and wide array of native Australian flora and fauna.

Our adventure begins on the first day at Waldheim, and from here we get straight in to the steepest section of the walk, as we travel up to Marion’s Lookout (1250m), which provides awesome views out over Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake, before heading onward to Waterfall Valley.

The subsequent 2 days are spent traipsing and travailing through grassy plains and moors that lead to myrtle-beech rainforest and several tranquil rivers and streams. The Pelion Plains marks the halfway point of the trip, with several abandoned copper mines an interesting quirk to explore.

Day 4 entails an opportunity to scale the highest summit in Tasmania, Mt Ossa (1617m), and also the chance to be exposed to some of the best views on the trip at the Pelion Gap plateau.

The penultimate day is a highlight for many, as we wander through some of the oldest forest in the state before reaching the Mersey River, which feeds in to three sets of glorious and majestic waterfalls that truly take the breath away.

The last day is when we reach our destination of Lake St Clair, the deepest natural lake in Australia and a lovely, special place to end our journey.

This 6-day journey will expose you to the some of the most stunning and beautiful landscape, scenery and terrain in Australia – book now to experience!

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
