Discover Snowy Mountains Three Peaks
Australia’s Snowy Mountains place three summit objectives within the high country of Kosciuszko National Park. Carruthers Peak, the high point on Etheridge Ridge and Mount Kosciuszko share an alpine setting of open ridges and broad views. Kosciuszko is mainland Australia’s highest mountain, while Carruthers brings the surrounding Main Range landscape into focus. Etheridge adds a separate summit close to Kosciuszko rather than a distant change of region.
The scenery here is shaped by altitude and the seasons. Alpine grasslands and the glacial features of the Main Range distinguish it from the lower bushland that many visitors associate with Australia. Enquire about a Snowy Mountains journey with time to appreciate this environment. Snow cover and park conditions influence the programme, and the final itinerary should use appropriate access to each summit while protecting the sensitive alpine vegetation.
