At Cradle Mountain, when can snow fall?

Answer: Any time of year

Parks Tasmania says snow, rain, wind and sun are all possible at any time of the year.

Weather can change quickly, especially in alpine areas. For walks, pack a hooded waterproof jacket, waterproof overtrousers, sturdy boots, a fleece or wool jumper, thermals, a hat and gloves.
