Porcupine Rocks with fantastic views dropping away to Lake Crackenback & the Ski Tube, down to Lake Jindabyne, never ending vistas out to the Monaro Plains & into the Thredbo River Valley. With an option to walk along the ridge of Mt Wheatley on return with a view back toward Porcupine & over The Perisher Range. 

We also have a short day option out of Guthega up to Guthega Trig with great views along the snowy river valley, Guthega River & back over the charming Guthega Village.

​

Note: that unlike tours out of Thredbo, journeys from Guthega or Perisher do not incur the extra expense of a chairlift ride
