Snow Gums Boardwalk. Kosciuszko National Park. NSW. Australia. - Non-Coastal Boardwalks on Waymarking.com

Snow Gums Boardwalk, a 15-30 minute walk ... or longer if you want to soak up the views and explore, has one of the greatest and most easily accessible views in Kosciuszko National Park. The walk is around 400 metres and is open from the October to June long weekends. This walk is inaccessible in winter when it's snowbound.
A short stone path leads to the Boardwalk which starts at the Charlotte Pass turning circle and follows the tree line that separates the sub-alpine from the expansive alpine landscape. The snow gums, some of them hundreds of years old, are dramatically twisted and stunted due to the blasting effects of wind, snow and ice. In spring, you’ll see wildflowers such as yellow billy buttons, anemone buttercups and paper daises, blooming at ground level. There may likely be snowdrifts higher up, where there are no trees.

The winding boardwalk and lookout platforms are suitable for everyone, and informative signage along the way is a great introduction to the area's unique landscapes, plants and animals.

Note: Open from October to June, closed in Winter. This walk leads through an extreme alpine environment and all walkers must be well prepared. During summer, be prepared for both very hot and cold weather, high winds, rain, snow, extreme UV levels and some sections of snow or ice on the ground.

Parking: On Kosciuszko Road, Charlotte Pass at road-end near start of the Boardwalk. Toilets are available here.

Approximate boardwalk length (feet): About 400m. What is the boardwalk over?: Alpine country with snow gums, the boardwalk protects tree roots from damage, wildflowers and fragile alpine moss environment from foot and weather erosion.
