Snowy Mountains & the Snowies Alpine Walk

brilliant walk in amazing scenery and professional guides with great guiding and people skills - topped off by super company at night with very interesting and colourful fellow trekkers - THANKS from Rob

Overall a fantastic trip - Georgie was great, very competent and reliable. Very nice group and excellent/ friendly accommodation. We'll return!

The guides were exceptionally fit, healthy, and friendly, which created a positive and reassuring atmosphere throughout the experience. Their professionalism and attitude were definite strengths of the trip.

We walked the 6 day snowy alpine walk and thought it was excellent. So glad we went with Auswalks. It was seamless, well organised and wonderful.

It was an unforgettable experience. Stunning scenery, with views of alpine peaks and wildflowers. The accommodation was very comfortable and the food was great, lots of variety and plenty to sustain us. Our guides Dave and Kathleen were outstanding. They were knowledgeable, took great care with our safety, and brought a lot of fun and camaraderie to the experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an alpine walking adventure.

The Snowies Alpine Trail is a beautiful walk through stunning country. As a self-guided group we received great support, our transfers and luggage were managed seamlessly and the accomodation at Jindabyne and Thredbo were excellent. Highly recommend.

Guides David & Kathleen are exceptional absolute treasures. Entire walk went extremely well.

The Snowies Alpine trail and Kosciuszko walk is a beautiful part of the world and quite different from anywhere else I've walked. Being in the high country and so remote was a fabulous experience. The accommodation and transfers were spot on - thank you AusWalk for an amazing end to the year and start of a new one :-)

Everything went extremely well. The route and extra options was perfect. Challenging but very doable. Also, the driver we had was prompt, very friendly. Took photos of us to mark the start of trip.

All the accommodation was really good and all the food provided was great.

I loved the whole hike. The views were spectacular on varied trails with plenty of up and down. The accommodation was great. We were really well looked after in the lodges by very friendly hosts and the transport worked very well.

Our Alpine walk was perfectly organised as usual by Auswalk. Excellent lodges and food. The scenery was beautiful despite the bad weather. Most enjoyable!

Super impressed with Auswalk. The information they sent through before the walk was excellent and answered all of our questions. Our transfers were great and all accommodation very comfortable with high quality meals included. We found the app that alerted us to whether we were on track or not very useful. We had a wonderful time and would use Auswalk again!

Enjoyed every moment of the trip. Just what I was expecting from this trip. The Snowy Mountains is fantastic place to hike with plenty of different trails. The whether was fantastic all week. This is my second trip with Auswalk. Auswalk is becoming the go to company for me and my friends. The trips are in great places and the accommodation and food on the trips is always outstanding.

Our guides Katie and Georgie worked very well as a team. They took good care of our group. They gave good advice when needed, and nothing seemed too much trouble.

Although we have been bushwalking for over 50 years, we have somehow missed out on the unique alpine terrain which makes this walk so distinctive. The boulder formations near Kosciuszko are awe-inspiring - a sculpture park created by nature. The walk is wonderfully varied, from mountain ash and snow gum forests, to fascinating glacier-created jagged landscape, lakes and 360 degree panoramas from the top of Kosciuszko.

The Auswalk team were terrific and much of the walk was terrific. Katie, Dave and Kathleen were gems. The walks were excellent.

The walk was a unique opportunity to experience the Australian alpine countryside, with the bonus of reaching the summit of Mt Kosciusko. Auswalk's organisation was excellent, with no delays or hitches, and with all accommodation and provided meals of very good quality. Highly recommended!

Fabulous 5 days walking in the snowy mountains – very well organized by Auswalk. The highlight was definitely the beautiful day walk to Mt Carruthers via Blue Lake – we were lucky enough to have fabulous weather. A top 10 Australian day walk. Topped off by a very relaxing couple of days in Thredbo at the end…..

Another well planned itinerary and superb accommodation package by Auswalk. Our guides Katie and Chris were outstanding. Unflappable. Weather did impact one days walk but the alternative provided actually became a highlight. Beautiful wildflowers, crystal clear streams and mostly moderate, easy to follow tracks, made for an extremely enjoyable week of walking. The infrastructure in the area is getting a lot of attention. New and upgraded tracks opening up for spring/summer hikers is making the Snowys a year round destination. Easily a location worth a repeat visit.

Another fabulous trip by Auswalk. Accommodation and food were fabulous, the trip notes thorough, the walking was challenging at times but spectacular and we experienced many different terrains. We pretty much had the mountains to ourselves and it was remote and stunning. A beautiful part of the world. We did the trip at the end of March and it was a great time of year - sunny, cool at times, comfortable temperature.

Mount Kosciuszko walking week with this company and our two guides were Katie Campbell and Rebecca Cox. I cannot recommend these guides and their company highly enough. The walks were well planned and we were guided with care band professionalism. We had a lot of fun and knew what we "were up for" each day. The group was not young but Katie and Bec were totally un fazed giving us (non patronising) advice as required or requested. They communicated with one another extremely well which was reassuring as some of the walks were quite long and a little arduous. Plenty of options as well. I recommend this walk and these guides to you.

I really enjoyed the trip. I learnt a lot about the area, the wildflowers were lovely and the guides and other participants were wonderful.

The self guided walk through the Snowy Mts is well worth doing The views are fantastic and walking among the snow gums and wildflowers is delightful Our accom at two diff ski lodges was excellent and the company who drove us everywhere were timely and friendly Leanne in particular is an asset to Auswalk although she’s not an employee

Just back from an impulsively-booked 7 day Snowies/Mt Kosciuszko walk with Auswalk. How else could one book an impulsive walking holiday (at Christmas time, no less) in a longed-for destination and yet be thoroughly assured that the walk notes would be honed from years of expertise and local knowledge and contain everything to get us from A to Z, on every day of self-guided walking ahead of us. Plus luggage transfer safely accomplished, meals beautifully catered with due care to any intolerances, national park fees duly accommodated and chair-lift options already ticketed for those days when that last long steep and arduous ascent or descent is just a step too far after a long day spent reveling in the beauties and spectacles and bush picnics in the most idyllic settings our incredible country has to offer? Never a doubt that our accommodation will be anything less than impeccable, nor that those responsible for smoothing and catering for our holiday and sending us on our way each day will be capable, reliable, punctual, knowledgeable and sincerely concerned for our wellbeing. Thank you Auswalk. Such a relief to be able to leave the plethora of intricate arrangements necessary for that 7 days of blissful freedom in your capable hands in the assurance that nothing would be forgotten, nor would anything go amiss where human effort could prevent it. Even the weather decided to make everything perfect for us, as it inexplicably often does when we undertake such walks. Such good memories made. Leaving us pining for the next Auswalk experience as per usual. It's going to be another long year!

I was very happy with the Roof of Australia walk organised by Auswalk and would certainly be happy to go on another walk of theirs. The directions were very good, as was the accommodation and transport. The Australians we met on the trip, including our hosts, could not have been more pleasant and helpful.

Auswalks makes the walking easy (well almost!). In taking care of all the boring stuff (booking accommodation, meals, arranging transport, luggage transfers and packed lunches) means you just get up each morning and walk. Route instructions for self-guided walks are excellent: comprehensive, reliable, and trustworthy.

This was my second Auswalk trip. As it was so good that I booked my third Auswalk experience, for later in the year, within a few days of arriving home. The foundations of the great week were: my seven wonderful walking colleagues, our two terrific guides Katie and Dan – there were such great vibes between them, the delicious meals, and the interesting and wonderful accommodation. The evenings were a bonus for me – sitting on the big comfortable ski lodge lounge suites, reading a book or sleeping, and sipping Bundy Rum and cokes. Oh, and the walking was so varied and interesting. This was my first visit to the Mt Kosciuszko National Park and I was so impressed with the hydro scheme, the ski infrastructure, Thredbo, the terrain, the mountains, the views, the snow gums, and the wildflowers

A thoroughly enjoyable week of walking with friends in the Snowy Mountains. As it was a self guided walk we appreciated the detailed walking notes and the organisation provided by Auswalk.The accommodation and food were excellent and our hosts were so friendly and helpful. Thanks Auswalk for taking care of the detail so we could enjoy the walking, stunning views and relaxing every night.

My husband and I have just completed our first self-guided walk with Auswalk from 1-7 January 2016. The organisation, accommodation and food were all excellent, and the week would have been perfect if Auswalk had also been able to control the weather! Unfortunately, it was rainy and cold for most of the week and we didn't see a single view. We're still not quite convinced that Mt Kosciuszko actually exists! We hope to do more walks with Auswalk in the future, but firstly, we're going out to buy a few items of waterproof clothing ...

I took part in the Roof of Australia walk earlier this year. I loved it. The weather was totally unpredictable and one day we experienced the coldest, windiest walk of my life. Thanks to Marie's down coat and some morning tea sugar snakes I survived to tell the tale. I don't think I've ever been so relieved to see a dwelling as I was to see that little Seaman's Hut where we sheltered for morning tea. Marie and Lisa were great. Very welcoming, helpful and innovative in their approach and with our safety and enjoyment paramount in their thinking, and great fun as well. Last year I did the Top End trip with Auswalk and enjoyed that equally. I'll definitely be doing more walks with them.

I have just returned from a group guided holiday in the Snowy Mountains with Auswalk. Despite some unfavorable weather, some days walking in mist, rain and wind, I thoroughly enjoyed the mountain experience. The views appeared and disappeared and gave the holiday an element of surprise. Having completed several self guided walks with Auswalk, it was great to walk with a great group of people who love walking and we all looked out for each other. Our guides, Lisa and Marie, were friendly and knowledgeable and our safety was always their priority. The standard of accommodation and food was very good. As conditions in the mountains can change quickly it is essential to be fully prepared with several layers of warm clothing including gloves and beanie and a good quality water proof jacket and over-trousers. I would definitely recommend Auswalk to anyone interested in a hiking holiday.

Just been snowshoeing in the Snowy Mountains with Auswalk. Wonderful experience. Meeting travellers on their 9th and 10th Auswalk trips said it all.

"I recently joined a group of 15 like minded people for a 6 day snow shoe walk in the Snowy Mountains. It was a first time for me, never having been in the snow, let alone walking with snow shoes! We travelled to different snow slopes each day, so experienced different types of conditions. Our guides Denise and Gavin were wonderful, very patient with the newbies and helpful at all times. Would recommend this walk for pretty fit walkers, as it requires strength and concentration at all times. Australia is very lucky to have a company such as Auswalk- they are well organised and knowledgeable."
