Information
3-5 hours return, 7.4km, 400m climb in elevation
Grade 4: Bushwalking experience recommended. Tracks may be long, rough and very steep. Directional signage may be limited. This robust walk, best done in fine weather, takes walkers to the top of the handsome dolerite mountain, Hartz Peak. Views from the peak in clear weather are stunning; taking in much of the south-west wilderness, including Federation Peak and Precipitous Bluff. Beneath the peak is Hartz Lake, a classic cirque lake formed by ice action over the last million years. As the peak is 1254m high, it is subject to severe weather. Walkers should be aware of the forecast and have good all-weather clothing. Side tracks to Lake Esperance and Ladies Tarn.
