Very popular destination in high summer with sweeping views in all directions. Surprisingly, mobile phones will work despite the isolation. Though normally windswept, you can find shelter on whatever is the leeside of the mountain. Very little in the way of explanation. Inadvisable to leave the main, spiralling track to go back down because the terrain is steep, treacherous and cut by rocky cliffs and snow even in high summer.

Highest mountain in Australia

If you're in the area, a hike up Australia's highest mountain is almost a must. Of course, you can make it easy for yourself and drive up as far as possible. However, it is best to take the 18.3-kilometre round trip from Perisher Village. The route is generally classed as difficult and can usually be completed in around 5 hours. As the trail is ideal for hiking, you are rarely alone when the weather is fine and will also meet other adventurers during your trip. The situation is different when the weather is nasty - and this can change very quickly at this altitude.
