Description  

Labour Day Weekend

DAY 1 : Walk up to John Tait hut via Travers Valley, approx 7 Hours, easy to moderate terrain. Stay the night at John Tait hut (3 tickets per night).

DAY 2:  Next morning climb steeply to Cupola hut, approx 2+ hours and spend time exploring the stunning Cupola basin before returning to John Tait hut for the night. Another option being considered for the more energetic is to go from Cupola, over Gunsight Pass, round the back of Mt Travers to Travers Saddle and back to John Tait via the valley. Ice axe and crampons essential for this option, can be borrowed from club.

DAY 3: Return to St Arnaud via the Travers Valley back to the cars and home.
