Pre-trip team briefing & gear checks – Jindabyne – (This is a complimentary service that is not included in the official program – so you need to be in Jindabyne a day early. Accommodation the night before is your responsibility)
The Snowy Mountains in NSW Australia is one of the most unique alpine environments in the world. The landscape itself is defined by gumtrees, wildflowers and limestone gorges and is home to Australia’s largest mainland peak, Mt Kosciuszko.
The topography of Kosciuszko National Park makes for rugged and challenging environment that is perfectly suited to an Alpine Academy which focuses on teaching people the fundamentals of mountaineering and backcountry travel to prepare them for bigger more technical objectives aboard.
The CTSS Australian Alpine Academy offers two in depth programs, you can choose from either our ‘Introduction to Mountaineering – Alpine Academy’ which prepares you for bigger, international peaks or our ‘Winter Ascent of Kosciuszko as part of the Seven Summits – or combine them together for a once in a lifetime Australian winter experience.
