Dark Day by Solo Season
Hartz Peak Day Hike (Ex Hobart): Shake off the chaos of Dark Mofo with a guided 7km alpine hike to Hartz Peak. Expect sweeping southwest views, crisp mountain air, and a brave (totally optional) nude plunge at Ladies Tarn. We’ll keep things social and relaxed with a delicious Huon Valley bakery sandwich, a cheeky glass of wine on the trail, and a cider stop on the way home. Fresh air. Good company. A little bit bold. Winter done properly.
