Cradle Mountain sits in Tasmania’s wilderness, part of the Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park and the UNESCO Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. 🗻
The peak rises sharply above ancient alpine terrain shaped over millions of years by ice and weather, with glacial valleys, jagged dolerite ridges, and still lakes all hidden into the landscape.
One of Australia’s most iconic hikes - the Overland Track - slices through the region here, known for its lake views and alpine feel.
On a clear day, the mountain feels almost unreal! On a misty one, it disappears and reappears like it’s changing with the weather.
