Cradle Mountain

Cradle Mountain is a stunning natural landmark located in the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, in the Central Highlands of Tasmania, Australia. Known for its dramatic peaks and pristine alpine environment, it offers iconic hiking trails such as the Dove Lake Circuit and Overland Track. Visitors come for breathtaking scenery, native wildlife like wombats and Tasmanian devils, and activities like kayaking and photography.

A gold mine of heritage, wildlife, and natural beauty, the Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Claire National Park is a gem of a place. With a plethora of walking tours and hiking trails, witnessing the extremely diverse wildlife and vegetation, and the stunning views from around the park, including that of Cradle Mountain itself. For the brave-hearted, the Overland Track, which begins from Weindorfer's Chalet, is a six-day walk across the park, ending at the magnificent Lake St. Claire. The area around the lake itself is a treat to the eyes, especially during the spring and summer months when lush and colourful wildlfowers like orchids and leatherwoods are growing in numbers. The lakeside can also be directly accessed from the southern entrance of the park.
