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.
There are two huts: Vera Hut (at Lake Vera; sleeps 20) and Tahune Hut (at Lake Tahune; sleeps 24) and tent platforms at each of these locations. Spaces in these huts are not guaranteed and in the event a hut is full, or in the case of an emergency occurring between huts (injury, severe weather), you must carry a tent for shelter.
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.
Check the PWS alerts page for closures and emergency information before you go: Alerts - Parks & Wildlife Service Tasmania.

A valid parks pass is required for entry to Tasmania's national parks.
