About Charlotte Pass
Charlotte Pass, at 1760m above sea level, is Australia's highest village. It's snow-bound throughout winter with spectacular alpine scenery. During the winter peak season, Charlotte Pass is not as busy as some other ski resorts in New South Wales, making it a great base. The closest village to Mt Kosciuszko, it is in the midst of Kosciuszko National Park. In the warmer months don't miss the summer walking track through Kosciuszko National Park.
The village was named after Charlotte Adams who, in 1881, was the first woman to climb Mt Kosciuszko. It is the oldest ski resort in Australia. The historic Kosciuszko Chalet was built in 1930 and rebuilt later in the decade following a fire.
