Less challenging than some of the other Cradle Mountain walks on this list, Marion\u2019s Lookout offers an epic view across the surrounding mountain peaks and the sparkling Dove Lake. While the walk is perfect for any season, trekking the track in summer provides a stunning vista of blooming flowers, making it the most popular time to go.<\/p>\n<p>However, winter is also a great time to visit Cradle Mountain as there\u2019s a dusting of snow atop mountain peaks ensuring the view from the top is just as magical as you hoped it would be. This walk is super manageable for the most part, but they are some sections of the walk that are more difficult than others so remember to take care, especially in the winter months when the ground is uneven and slippery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/australia\/tasmania-adventure-160894\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HIKE UP TO MARION\u2019S LOOKOUT ON OUR HIGHLIGHTS OF TASMANIA TOUR<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-PTXC_australia_tasmania_cradle-mountain-trek_ss_10632-05993-enchantedwalk-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-PTXC_australia_tasmania_cradle-mountain-trek_ss_10632-05993-enchantedwalk-1.jpg\" alt=\"Traveller walking along the Enchanted Walk in Cradle Mountain. \" class=\"wp-image-47813 lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-PTXC_australia_tasmania_cradle-mountain-trek_ss_10632-05993-enchantedwalk-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-PTXC_australia_tasmania_cradle-mountain-trek_ss_10632-05993-enchantedwalk-1-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-PTXC_australia_tasmania_cradle-mountain-trek_ss_10632-05993-enchantedwalk-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-PTXC_australia_tasmania_cradle-mountain-trek_ss_10632-05993-enchantedwalk-1-585x329.jpg 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-PTXC_australia_tasmania_cradle-mountain-trek_ss_10632-05993-enchantedwalk-1.jpg\" alt=\"Traveller walking along the Enchanted Walk in Cradle Mountain. \" class=\"lazyload wp-image-47813\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-PTXC_australia_tasmania_cradle-mountain-trek_ss_10632-05993-enchantedwalk-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-PTXC_australia_tasmania_cradle-mountain-trek_ss_10632-05993-enchantedwalk-1-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-PTXC_australia_tasmania_cradle-mountain-trek_ss_10632-05993-enchantedwalk-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-PTXC_australia_tasmania_cradle-mountain-trek_ss_10632-05993-enchantedwalk-1-585x329.jpg 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Difficulty: Easy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Distance: 1.1km return<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Duration: 20 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t know about you but when we hear the words the \u2018Enchanted Walk\u2019, we expect to wander through a densely covered forest wonderland full of moss-covered trees and bubbling creeks and Cradle Mountain\u2019s own Enchanted Walk doesn\u2019t disappoint.
