Western & Eastern Arthurs Tasmania

Wed 18th Mar 2026

Members Only 12 Days+

To traverse the rugged Western and Eastern Arthur Range is considered a major bushwalking challenge. Located in Southwest National Park, and part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The Western and Eastern Arthur Range Traverse covers extensive, rugged topography and funnels walkers through narrow corridors throughout much of the range.

The landscape that contributes to the area's World Heritage values is made up of steep slopes, alpine moorlands and glacial lakes. The ranges are a geological delight. Walkers will mainly journey through alpine heath and alpine scrub vegetation. Elsewhere, buttongrass heath is widespread and scrub, wet forest and patches of rainforest occur on the lower slopes.
This will be up to a 11 day trip and the dates exclude travel time to the walk. It will be weather dependent and may be cut back as weather situation dictates.
Previous multi day walking in wet weather with no huts and rock scrambling experience required.
