Encompassing snow-capped peaks, sparkling glacial lakes and wild alpine moors, Cradle Mountain is one of Tasmania’s must-see wilderness destinations. It’s traversed by an abundance of hiking trails that range from 10-minute strolls to legendary, multi-day treks, with one of Australia’s most iconic peaks as your backdrop. 

 Cradle Mountain was designated as a wilderness reserve in 1927 and upgraded to a national park 20 years later before becoming part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area in 1982. Prior to that, it was home to Tasmanian Aboriginal people for more than 35,000 years, with its wild landscapes proving a rich hunting and gathering ground. 

 In the 1820s, European explorers, graziers, hunters and prospectors arrived in the region, followed by fur trappers and loggers in search of King Billy pines. But the area’s exceptional natural beauty was realised early on, with the Austrian-born couple Gustav and Kate Weindorfer campaigning for its preservation. They built a rustic home known as “Waldheim” in the Cradle Valley, which can still be visited today. 

 If you’re planning on visiting Cradle Mountain during your trip to Tasmania, this website offers a wealth of information about things to see and do in the national park. We have recommendations on the best walks in Cradle Mountain, places to stay near the national park and dining options. In addition, we’ve put together a page filled with practical info about Parks Passes, shuttle buses and the best time to visit Cradle Mountain National Park.

 A highlight of visiting Cradle Mountain is its abundance of native wildlife, with everything from pademelons to Tasmanian devils and platypi inhabiting the park. One of the area’s most ubiquitous residents is the wombat, which can often be seen grazing around Cradle Mountain Lodge and the Interpretation Centre.

 Cradle Mountain National Park has also been identified as an Important Bird Area and is a rewarding destination for twitchers. In addition to green rosellas, pink robins and black currawongs, you may also spot yellow-tailed black cockatoos and wedge-tailed eagles, which like to nest in the park’s cliffs. 

 Cradle Mountain boasts a rich floral diversity and around half of its alpine flora is endemic to the region. While exploring its hiking trails, you’ll encounter ancient rainforests of beech, myrtle and sassafras, as well as heaths and grasslands that ignite with wildflowers in the spring.
