Aries Tor Hike

• Before The Hike
  • Meet and greet with your experienced guide

• Departure time: 8.50am outside Valley Terminal at the large Walks & Hikes map
• Finish: approx 1pm

• Check the weather here. Please be aware that guided hikes go ahead in most weather conditions.

We recommend checking the weather beforehand and pack for all weather conditions.

As we will be travelling throughout the day, temperatures will vary. The key is to layer up – a few light layers on top will keep you comfortable as conditions change. Since this is a longer hike in a remote alpine area, make sure you’re well-prepared with full wet weather gear and anything you might need if the weather turns.

• Waterproof/wind stopper jacket, rain pants
• A warm layer, fleece or wool
• Minimum 2L of water per person
• Hat, sunscreen and sunglasses
• Enclosed walking shoes, preferably boots with good socks
• Lunch and snacks
• Gloves and a warm hat
• Camera
• Any medication that might be needed (eg. Ventolin)

It’s important to let your guide know if you have any pre-existing medical conditions (such as motion sickness, fear of heights, heart conditions, pregnancy, asthma and musculoskeletal issues) prior to the walk. This will help us cater the walk to your needs and make your trip more enjoyable.

Thredbo Guided Hikes reserves the right to cancel a hike at any time.

This may be due to but not limited to any of the following:

• Lightning
• Winds over 70km/hour
• Extreme weather conditions: fire, rain, hail or snow
• Poor air quality
• Medical incident

In the event that a hike is cancelled prior to the commencement date, a full refund will be issued. No refund will be issued if the hike is cancelled or the goal of the hike is not met during the activity.

We encourage guests to Leave No Trace and observe the Hiking Responsibility Code:

• Pack a reusable water bottle – our guides will point out the refill station at the bottom of the chairlifts
• Dispose of all waste properly – no bins are located on hiking trails; all waste is to be disposed in appropriate locations across Thredbo Village
• Travel on durable surfaces – remain on designated walking tracks or travel on surfaces which can tolerate trampling. Much of the alpine ecosystem is fragile and cannot recover from trampling
• Leave what you find – do not pick or remove anything natural
• Respect wildlife – appreciate wildlife through quiet and observation from afar
• Be considerate of hosts and other visitors – remain on left hand side of hiking trails to allow for 2-way traffic and others to pass. Do not play music aloud when hiking.
