Important Safety Information

Regarded as significantly more challenging than the Overland Track, Frenchmans Cap Track is one of Tasmania's most challenging multi-day walks. Walkers must be experienced and well-prepared. For further walk information, please see the Frenchmans Cap walk page.

The weather in Tasmania's remote national parks can be notoriously unpredictable and at times, dangerous. Understand the weather forecast for the duration of your walk and observe sunrise and sunset times. (Queenstown and Lake St Clair are suggested areas to check the forecast, depending on weather patterns at the time).

Mobile phones should not be relied upon for navigation or communication on this track. Carrying a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) is strongly encouraged.

Individuals are responsible for their own safety and assessment of their capabilities to undertake this walk. Please read our Safety in Parks information in preparation.
