タスマニアの絶景の山頂・トップ5

ウェリントン公園のオルガンパイプトラックは、kunanyi/マウントウェリントンのドレライトの崖の下を蛇行する、人気のある手入れの行き届いた小道です。表面はほとんどが圧縮された土ですが、緩い石や露出した岩のある区間もあり、場所によっては足元が不安定になる可能性があるため、表面が粗い可能性のある岩の多い地域では足元に注意してください。途中、ホバートとダーウェント川河口の素晴らしい景色が広がり、そびえ立つ岩の形成が常に背景にあります。

マリオンズ・ルックアウトはダブ湖を見下ろす高台にあり、クレイドル山、クレーター湖、そして周囲のアルプスの高原を一望できます。岩の露頭に位置し、切り立った山頂や氷河が刻んだ下の景色をドラマチックな視点で見ることができます。晴れた日には、公園内で最も印象的な展望スポットの一つとなり、写真撮影や景色の観賞に最適です。

Cathedral Rock has a fantastic viewpoint, and the final 400 meters of this hike are steep. From the summit, there are open views of the surrounding mountains and Southern Tasmania. Right before the summit, the track emerges from the forests. The footing is more rocky, so be careful. This sub-alpine summit at 880 meters is exposed, so bring a raincoat and warm clothes.

The final approach to the summit requires some scrambling but it's nothing too intense, and the panoramic views from the top make it worth the effort.

This track climbs steadily through alpine heath and past small glacial tarns, leading onto exposed dolerite ridges. Though not long, the ascent is steep and demanding, with sections that require care in poor weather. The track climbs steadily over rocky ground and includes sections of boardwalk before reaching the 1,255-metre summit. From the top, expansive views extend across the Southwest Wilderness and, in clear weather, toward the Southern Ocean, making the climb both challenging and memorable.

Mount Ossa is Tasmania’s highest peak at 1,617 metres, crowned by this rugged dolerite summit with sweeping views across the Cradle Mountain–Lake St. Clair National Park. The ascent from Pelion Gap is a steep, rocky climb above alpine vegetation, typically taking a few hours return for experienced walkers. On clear days, there are expansive panoramic vistas over the surrounding peaks, glacial valleys, and the central Tasmanian highlands.

Mount Amos Track is a short but very steep climb over exposed granite slabs that requires good footwear, dry conditions, and a solid level of bushwalking experience and fitness. Although only about 4 kilometres return, the route involves sustained rock scrambling and typically takes 2–3 hours due to the incline and careful route‑finding across the polished granite. At the expansive summit, you are rewarded with one of Tasmania’s most iconic panoramas, Wineglass Bay, framed by the pink‑granite Hazards and the wider Freycinet Peninsula.

Great hike! The summit is easily accessible if you're willing to get your feet a little wet. For us, the path after the planks was a stream. And: Always check the weather forecast.
