This Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage landscape stretches from Cradle Mountain in the north to Lake St Clair in the south. Glacial valleys, button-grass plains and temperate rainforest create dramatic changes over short distances.
Experiencing Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park
Short boardwalks and lake circuits suit relaxed days, while serious walkers can tackle longer alpine routes. Wombats, wallabies and Tasmanian wildlife add interest around dawn and dusk.
Planning your stay
A lodge stay allows weather to dictate the pace. Pair the park with Hobart, Freycinet or Launceston rather than trying to rush Tasmania in a single loop.
