Cradle Mountain National Park is an area of iconic scenery with a wide variety of walking trails to choose from. With around 5 hours to spend in the National Park, the walking itinerary is flexible to suit guests and the weather conditions on the day.
After departing Launceston you enjoy a short stop in Sheffield The Town of Murals. This small and quirky rural village, in the foothills of the mountains, features it's own outdoor art gallery, featuring over 100 paintings on the walls of buildings across the town. From there, head to the mountains along winding roads fringed with rainforest to Cradle Mountain.
Arriving into Cradle Mountain National Park, begin your adventures with an easy guided walk to Pencil Pine Falls.
Your main hike for the tour is up next, beginning with Dove Lake Circuit, a 6 km track that will circumnavigate the lake at the bottom of Cradle Mountain.
For the more active and avid hiker, there's the chance to climb to the loftier heights of Marion's Lookout. This is around 4 kilometers but is classified as a medium grade hike, with some steep sections. Marions Lookout sits at 1200m, and provides breathtaking 360 degree views of the surrounding World Heritage wilderness area.
The last stop of the day offers a chance to refresh and refuel at the delicious Van Dieman's Land Ice Creamery and Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm.
