About this place
NPWS lists Rennix walking track as a 13 km return walk (4 hours 30 minutes to 5 hours 30 minutes) in the Thredbo-Perisher area of Kosciuszko National Park. From the signed carpark off Kosciuszko Road, about 23 km past the Snowy Region Visitor Centre in Jindabyne, the track crosses forested ridges and subalpine meadows to a granite turning point called Giants Castle. Views open west to the Snowy River and east to Lake Jindabyne. Wildflowers are typically best between January and Easter. Limited mobile reception; alpine weather can be extreme. Return the same way.
Access & getting there
Drive from Jindabyne along Kosciuszko Road; the carpark is a short signed turn-off on the right. Allow space to turn around. Park entry fees apply. No dogs.
