Seasonal Notes:
Snow can fall at Cradle Mountain from as early as June through to October, with July and August offering the most reliable chance. Winter weddings often feature dramatic snow-covered peaks and cosy lodge receptions, while spring brings the chance of both snow flurries and bursts of wildflowers.
Autumn (late April to May) is famous for the “turning of the fagus,” when Australia’s only cold-climate deciduous tree transforms the Cradle landscape with brilliant gold, orange, and red leaves. It’s a rare spectacle found only in Tasmania, and Cradle Mountain is one of the best places to experience it.
Things to Do:
-
Hikes & Walks – from short 10-minute boardwalks to the iconic Dove Lake Circuit (easy, 2 hours), or more adventurous climbs to Marion’s Lookout or Cradle Summit.
-
Helicopter Tours* – take in the peaks, lakes, and wilderness from above on a scenic flight.
-
Canoeing / Kayaking – paddle on Dove Lake and nearby alpine lakes (seasonal).
-
Wildlife Encounters* – see wombats, wallabies, echidnas, and Tasmanian devils (with night tours available at Devils@Cradle).
-
Canyoning – Cradle Mountain Canyons offers adrenaline-packed half-day and full-day trips through rivers and waterfalls.
-
Horse Riding* – trail rides through alpine moorlands (seasonal).
-
Spa & Wellness* – relax at the Waldheim Alpine Spa (Cradle Mountain Lodge), with hot tubs, saunas, and treatments overlooking the mountains.
-
Stargazing & Night Sky – minimal light pollution makes for spectacular stargazing and, at times, views of the Aurora Australis.
* Available as inclusions in our wedding packages.
