Pelion Gap is a wide alpine saddle on Tasmania’s Overland Track that sits between Mount Ossa and Mount Pelion East, offering one of the route’s most expansive mountain panoramas. The open, often windswept plateau marks the junction for the side trip to Mount Ossa, Tasmania’s highest peak, with clear views across the surrounding glacial valleys, especially in good weather.

If you still have strength and like some adventure, dare the trip to Mt. Ossa. Caution, there may be snowfields on the steep slopes, and you should also be able to climb a little.
