Cradle Mountain is a stunningly beautiful mountain located in the Central Highlands region of Tasmania. The sixth-highest mountain in Tasmania, it stands at 1,545 metres (5,069 ft) above sea level and offers amazing views across Dove Lake from the summit. This focal point of the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park offers incredible opportunities for exploring nature - with walking paths, abundant wildlife, cascading waterfalls, and wild platypus inhabiting the waterways. Whether you're an experienced hiker looking to tackle the strenuous Overland Track, or simply wish to take in the spectacular beauty of Cradle Valley with a leisurely stroll, this mountain has something for everyone.
