Snowy Mountains Challenge

Hannels Spur trek is run in Australia’s stunning high country. The challenge is to complete the single biggest ascent in Australia in two  days. The track is variable, from gravel to rougher rocky roads, possible snowdrifts and snowgrass sections that require waterproof footwear with ankle support (i.e. boots). You will require a good level of fitness with a proven capability of carrying a pack continuously uphill for two days.

K7 Adventures is an Eco-Pass licenced tour operator in Kosciuszko National Park with Peak Learning Adventures providing the guides and logistical services on behalf of the licensee.
