The Australian Alps National Parks
Stretching from Canberra through the Brindabella Range to the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales and along the Great Divide through eastern Victoria, Australia's alpine and subalpine environments are unique and special.
There are eleven national parks and reserves in the Australian Alps that cross State and Territory borders. These parks and reserves are collectively known as the Australian Alps national parks.
Traversing 650km of this rugged, remote alpine country is the Australian Alps Walking Track.
You can Care for the Alps
Growing visitor numbers means that there is a risk that the Alps could be ‘loved to death’.
When visiting the Alps, minimise your impacts on environment by learning to tread softly and Leave no Trace.

Who manages the Alps?
National parks and nature reserves within the Alps are managed by each state or territory government.
In the past, each had its own way of dealing with the challenges of park management. In order to better protect the Alps, the Park agencies agreed to work together in partnership with the Australian Government.
