Hike summary

This well signposted winter-only snowshoe walk is a great way to get into snowshoeing for the first time. Starting from Perisher Village this walk soon leaves the main road to follow a series of snow poles up a gully and around a small hill. There are some interesting information signs to help you learn more about amazing battle for life under the snow. On a sunny day the contrast between the rocks sky and snow might mean you fill the memory card in your camera - allow some extra time to explore the area.
