Introducing Kosciuszko National Park

The closest you’ll get to Switzerland (but without the attitude, just the altitude) is this jewel in the national-park crown. It’s NSW’s largest and most spectacular national park, covering 690, 000 hectares. Winter sees throngs of ski bunnies and unfair-weather families descend to make the most of the skiing and snowboarding. But it’s also popular in summer, when there are excellent bushwalks and marvellous alpine wildflowers (in January). What’s more, it’s home to Australia’s highest mountain, Mt Kosciuszko (koz-zy-os-ko), where a expedition to the summit (2228m) can make you feel on top of the world.
