At Cradle Mountain start our walk at Dove Lake as we head straight up to Hanson’s Peak. This steep track climbs quickly above Dove Lake and will certainly get the heart and legs pumping.

From Hanson’s Peak we descend onto the Twisted Lakes area where we take in some amazing mirrored images on the water and great views to Cradle Mountain and the surrounds.

Heading along the face track we will walk under the imposing peaks of Cradle Mountain. Looking back up to Cradle from underneath is really a sight to behold and we eventually join part of the Overland track near Kitchen Hut.

We trek on and upwards entering the large rock and boulder section of the climb, eventually reaching the summit. At the summit (if weather allows) we will have some lunch and a break allowing time to appreciate the spectacular views.

Making our way back Via Marion’s lookout and Wombat pool. Once we are all back safely, we congratulate and farewell each other before we drop you back to your hotel or the Visitor Centre.

This is dif­fi­cult walk, par­tic­u­lar­ly near the sum­mit with rock scram­bling and fixed chain assist.

Grade 4 (Hard) – Challenging Walks for Experienced Walkers: Grade 4 on the AWTGS signifies challenging walking tracks. Bushwalking experience is recommended for these tracks, which may be long, rough, and very steep. Directional signage may be limited, requiring a good sense of navigation. These walks are suited for experienced walkers who are comfortable with steeper inclines, rougher terrain, and potentially longer distances.
