Booking Required

The Overland Track requires booking during peak season (October to May). Book through the Tasmania Parks website. Thunderbird forecasts complement your parks booking — we don't replace it.

Weather Considerations

  • • Weather can change rapidly at altitude
  • • Snow possible year-round on exposed sections
  • • Side trips (Mt Ossa, Cradle) add significant exposure
  • • Carry warm clothing regardless of forecast
