Home to Tasmania’s most recognisable alpine landscapes, this region is defined by glacial lakes, button grass plains and mountain walking tracks. It’s a centre for hiking, wildlife and cool-climate scenery.

Freycinet Peninsula

A rugged coastal landscape of pink granite mountains and sheltered bays, Freycinet is best known for its beaches, walking trails and marine environment. The region suits travellers looking to combine coastal scenery with light adventure.
