Le Tour de Hût - Thredbo to Tharwa on the AAWT

Sat 06th Dec 2025

Members Only 15 Days+

Walk, Alpine, Back-pack

(Full. Waitlist started.)

A twelve (and-a-bit) day, 225km hike along the northern third of the Australian Alps Walking Track; Covering this much ground will take us through a variety of environs, from the windswept Main Range to the grassy hills around Kiandra, to the caves and canyons of Blue Waterholes and the forests of Namadgi.

We will need drivers to drop us at Dead Horse Gap near Thredbo.
Food drops will be placed at Kiandra prior to hike.
Two spare days allow a delayed start in case of weather.

Participants will need experience of multi-day pack hikes and a good understanding of what sort of distances and elevations they are capable of walking day after day. While I’ve tried to keep the daily distances to a manageable level, the compound effect of walking with a pack for twelve days is not to be underestimated. Once begun, there aren’t a lot of opportunities to get off the track. Occasional fantastic views guaranteed.
 Preference will be given to those I’ve walked with and whose capacity I’m familiar with.
