The road up may be closed when snow is forecast ; do call ahead to check and avoid disappointment. Near the top there is a nice spot to look out on southern Tasmania. We saw a rainbow!

Bring something warm as it can get really really windy at the top and there is not much shelter. Worth the drive up the mountain to see the beautiful views of Hobart .

For the ultimate Mt. Wellington experience, try the 13 mile downhill ride from the summit! Amazing views as you travel from sub-alpine and mountain rainforests to the vibrant waterfront of Hobart. Read more

From Hobart, the most distinctive feature of Mount Wellington is the cliff of dolerite columns known as the Organ Pipes. Amazing to see up close.

For self drive, do check the City of Hobart website for road closures. If not you can book a shuttle service in Hobart Travel Centre

Don't forget to pack warm. Even on a 14 degree day, when you reach the pinnacle , it's like minus four degrees. Gloves, scarf and something to cover your ears is a must.

Love the view but would recommend driving up. It's a long steep walk uphill

Pretty incredible views and a drive you won't soon forget!

Stellar view . Be careful going up - the roads are narrow and winding. Only a 30 minute drive from the city center.

Stunning view ! Cold as *** durning winter, snow is beautiful tho. Super windy at the very top.

Great views ! Make sure you go up when is not cloudy though

This is the sort of road where the sign says in one part - beware rock (singular) falls. One rock the size of a car had fallen on the road .

Only go to the summit on a nice clear day!

Always check the forecast ! If precipitation is above 40%. There's a high chance of heavy snowfall up the peak.

It's 1270 metres above sea level so always take a jacket . It's never going to be hot up there.

A must in hobart. Amazing views ...

One of the best views going! Weather ranges from mild to downright insane!

Middle of summer but minus 2 with wind - take a jacket and gloves. Stunning views . Gorgeous small alpine flowers .

Go early when there is less traffic

Very very cold on top, but spectacular views , well worth it

So beautiful, worth the drive to the pinnacle .

Amazing views ! Absolute must do when in hobart!

God viewing platforms spread around

Bring a warm jacket !

Worth the drive up - or better still book the bus .

Walk to the Octopus Tree . It only takes 15 minutes and it is really lovely.

Be prepared for your auto car locking to fail. Signs in visitors centre explain why and numbers for help if needed. Happened to us.

The pipeline track from Fern Tree is an excellent bike ride , all the way and back, or to the start of he Wellington Falls walk. Easy grade.

Best view going for a Hobart sunrise ????
