IMPORTANT UPDATE – 1 April 2026
Dart Track closed due to slip
A large slip in Dart Valley between Daleys Flat Hut and Chinamans Bluff has made the Rees-Dart Track circuit impassable. Dart Track is closed until at least December 2026. View a photo of the slip (JPG, 747K). However trampers can walk some of the track from either end.
Be aware in winter (May- November), conditions on the Rees Saddle and Cascade Saddle change quickly due to snow, ice and avalanche terrain. There is a risk of being trapped at Dart Hut by alpine conditions if you don’t have alpine equipment and experience.
- Walk from Muddy Creek to Dart Hut and back out the same way (just Rees Valley)
- Walk over Cascade Saddle to Dart Hut and out along the Rees Valley
- Helicopter transfer with Heli Glenorchy over the affected section of track (Top of Dredge Flat to Surveyors Flat – 1 hour walk from Chinamans Bluff). Pre-book with Heli Glenorchy.
We will swap the Dart transport to Rees transport until the Dart end of the track is open.
