    Tips

    March 1, 2026

    Rawson Pass sits at about 2,100 meters above sea level. Its the high saddle where the Main Range Track encounters the Mount Kosciuszko summit path. It's a junction and turning point, with trails leading either to the summit or back toward Charlotte Pass. The exposed alpine gives wide views across the plateau, making it a natural turning point on the circuit. Environmentally designed composting toilets are located here, but there's no water or shelter, so walkers need to come prepared.

    Cycling

    No bikes beyond this point, park your bike here to hike to the summit. Also a toilet here.
