(TRIP FULL FOR NOW) Kosciuszko NP: Snowshoe Day Trips (various) out of Charlottes Pass
Fri 09th Oct 2026
The road to Charlottes Pass usually opens after the October Long Weekend. We will take advantage of the snowshoeing opportunities this presents by doing day trips over 4 days. Destinations include Club Lake, Mt Carruthers, Twynham, Blue Lake, Hedley Tarn, Mt Stilwell, Kangaroo Ridge, Mt Guthrie, Paralyser Ridge and more. Even if the snow is poor or the weather is bad there is usually a spot we can find for a snowshoeing adventure. Participants can join for one or more days. This activity is suitable for CBC members new to snowshoeing - if you can hike you can snowshoe. The caveat is you need to have good fitness and can get hold of the necessary gear to keep yourself comfortable and safe in mountain weather. Note we will be at much higher altitudes than Canberra.
Accommodation will be at the Canberra Alpine Club Lodge in Perisher at a cost of around $75 a night for non-CAC members. So for three nights the lodge cost will be around $225. CBC members can get a discount of around 10 per cent on this. Booking inquiries will be initially tagged as "Interested" until lodge bookings are lodge in April. Once lodge bookings are confirmed I will seek payments. Snow shoes can be rented from Rhythm in Cooma or Wilderness Sports in Jindabyne; and also available for a fee from the Club.
