Everyone talks about Dove Lake—but if you want the best winter hike in Cradle Mountain, head to Hansons Peak Trail. This unforgettable ridge walk gives you sweeping views of Dove Lake on one side and Lake Hanson on the other, with barely a soul in sight.

We hiked it in full winter conditions—snow, wind, icy streams—and it was magic.

But you’ll need to be prepared. There’s a short scramble, exposed sections, and it can get wild up high.

Take it slow, bring the right gear, and this might be your favourite walk in Tasmania.

📍 Trail Location: Starts at Dove Lake carpark
🥾 Trail Distance: 3.6km return or loop options via Twisted Lakes
🕒 Duration: 2–2.5 hrs depending on conditions
⚠️ Difficulty: Moderate (short rock scramble, uneven footing)

Top Tips for Winter Hiking Hansons Peak:
– Wear waterproof boots—it gets soggy and wild
– Pack a windbreaker—it’s always colder and windier at the top
– Bring trail snacks and water—you’ll want to linger
– Only attempt if you’re reasonably fit and nimble
– The views? Worth every step.
