Loop hikes in Kozzy, Alpine, and Snowy?

Postby nevincorn » Tue 05 Jan, 2016 11:28 am

Hello all. My mates and I have 3 weeks to play between Melbourne and Sydney and we would like to spend as much time as possible in the bush. We are all very experienced walkers will all the gear to go out for a week at a time. We only have one vehicle so I am looking for loop trails if possible.
I am having a hard time piecing things together online so any info on trail names that you can loop together. We are for sure going to summit Kozzy but are open to any great itineraries from Alpine to Sydney. We have already done the Blue Mountains and Alpine. Any info will be appreciated!! Thanks.

When you say you "have already done the Blue Mountains", what do you mean? There are an awful lot of routes in the Blue Mountains. Are you saying you have done most of them?

How prepared are you to walk off track? If you don't want to retrace your steps, a lot of loop walks will rely on either minor tracks, or routes with off track sections - possibly including scrub.

Hiya, have a look on Wildwalks website they have a lot of information for day hikes and multi day hikes for all areas in NSW, it also tells you the length, grade, time and type of walk e.g. Circuit or one-way http://www.wildwalks.com/bushwalking-an ... -np-south/

One good option is a loop from Round Mountain south to Jagungal. Consider going south on Fram Ridge and back on the Round Mountain Fire Trail, which has good water and campsites, more than Farm Ridge. It will take a day or so to get to near Jagungal, which can be climbed from many points. In a week you'll probably be able to go as far west as Grey Mare Hut, south to Valentines and Mawsons Huts, and East to Bull Peaks. The plains near Jagungal have easy off-track walking, good water, and a campsites nearly anywhere.

Allow one day of not walking as bad weather can halt things somewhat. It's a brilliant area.

An alternative is to start at Guthega power station and head up through Gungartan to Mawsons Hut, then Jagungal and return by Grey Mare, Valentines and either return all the way by the 4wd or have a look at Dicky Cooper Bogong and the Rolling Grounds. Can be scrubby getting down. There are lots of variations. Tin Hut, Big Brassy, or head further around on the Main Range.
