What to expect
Your guide will collect you from your accommodation and drive to the park entrance. The tour comprises two main walks: a gentle glacier rock trail and the Weindorfers forest track through towering pines near Waldheim Chalet. You'll stop at Dove Lake for extended views across to Cradle Mountain's jagged ridgeline (weather dependent). The pace is relaxed and suits all fitness levels. Lunch happens mid-tour, typically at Waldheim where you can absorb the landscape between walks. Your guide points out native birds, wallabies and mountain geography as you go.
