We have graded this adventure MODERATE.

If you are unsure of your current fitness level, this resource will help: How to find your hiking fitness level

On this adventure, moderate means three hiking days of roughly three to eight hours, across alpine high country on the Main Range Track and out to Cascade Hut in the Snowy Mountains. The longest day is around 22km.

The hiking is not technical. What it asks for is cardio fitness, steady legs on descents, and the ability to do it again the next day.

We carry a group first aid kit and emergency communications equipment.

We hike as a group and we finish as a group. That is the goal on every day, and it is why the training plan exists and why we pay attention to pace, footing and each other on the trail. Looking after ourselves is how the whole group gets there.

Occasionally something happens that is beyond anyone’s control. If it does, we work it out together with our crew leader and our guide.

Conditions can also require a change to the itinerary. See Weather for more on this.

You will be required to carry a day pack of approximately 8kg.

Your pack will include the following items: minimum of 2 litres water, sunscreen, raincoat/rain pants, warm top, thermals lunch, camera, hat and any items of a personal nature, including personal first aid/medications.

A comprehensive gear list will be supplied and explained once your booking is confirmed.

This adventure is graded as MODERATE Plus. Please use this table as a guide for the minimum level of fitness needed to complete the adventure. Contact us if you have any questions regarding your current or future fitness level. We are here to help!!

Our fabulous adventures allow you to create memories and friendships that last a lifetime. At Women’s Fitness Adventures we are also committed to sustainable adventures so that the places and spaces we go will also last well beyond our lifetime and the many generations to follow. Sustainability starts when you join our community and never ends.

We are committed to the principles of minimal impact, leave no trace, tread lightly  and give back to the local community. Here’s how we do that for all of our adventures (short and long)

Consumables

• We encourage “no plastics” so bringing refillable water bottles, reusable cups and cutlery where applicable and using lunchboxes where plastic can be minimised
• It’s a leave no trace principle, so all food scraps, toilet waste and rubbish items are carried out. (See our Masterclass on Toileting for the Trail)
• We are committed to reducing paper waste inside our organisation and have implemented a paperless booking system.

Transport

• For this adventure, once in country, we use either foot or public transport as our mode of movement.
• When flying, we encourage you to offset your emissions by purchasing carbon offsets.

Minimal impact

• We have a “tread lightly” policy where we stay on known tracks and paths, minimising our impact to bush, plants and wildlife.
• Before we embark on an adventure or trail, we brief you on the flora, fauna and any other considerations that form the uniqueness of the environment so that you understand and appreciate the minimal impact approach.

Accommodation & Adventure Partners

• Where possible we partner with Eco Certified businesses who follow the same eco philosophies
• Our adventures have all the applicable National Park permits and licenses to operate (or International equivalents)
• Our “give back” policy also applies to the locations we stay – choosing local operators, businesses and townships where funds spent go directly to small business owners – doing our part to create sustainable communities.
