Thredbo sunset hikes

You may have hiked to the tallest peak in Australia before, but have you done it at night?

Thredbo offers the chance for you to have an unforgettable experience with their guided Sunset Hike of Mt Kosciuszko.

The hike is a 13km return trip, where you get to see the sunset and a gorgeous starry sky from Australia’s highest peak.

It includes a 15-minute scenic chairlift ride with sweeping views of Thredbo Valley and Kosciuszko National Park.

On the walk up you pass granite tors, running rivers, alpine lakes and iconic Snowy Mountains scenery.

Your guide will point out native flora and endemic species at regular break points.

Along the way, you can take photos at Kosciuszko Lookout, Lake Cootapatamba and great scenic spots during golden hour.

Enjoy a hot chocolate or tea at the summit (2,228m elevation) as you watch sunset. After watching Mother Nature’s spectacular show, take the return path under the Milky Way (with head torches provided).

A 4WD meets you at Eagles Nest to return you to Thredbo Village around 10.30pm.

The Sunset Hike is a popular walk so it is recommended to book in advance to avoid disappointment. Visit thredbo.com.au for more information.
