Australia
An alpine-looking mountain that gives its name to one of the country's great walks, then a wine-glass-shaped bay ranked among the world's finest beaches
Australia
A journey through Tasmania, an island south of mainland Australia that has remained largely wild: Cradle Mountain, a dolomite peak reflected in Dove Lake and lending its name to one of the country's great walks, then Wineglass Bay, in Freycinet National Park, whose perfect curve of white sand has repeatedly earned the title of the world's most beautiful beach from international magazines.

The first chapter unfolds at Cradle Mountain, a jagged dolomite peak rising over fifteen hundred metres and reflected, in calm weather, in the dark waters of Dove Lake below. The mountain lends its name to the Overland Track, one of Australia's most renowned great walks, a six-day trail through a unique alpine moorland home to wombats, Tasmanian devils, and prehistoric pandani plants.
Day 1
The Dove Lake circuit
A hike along the trail circling Dove Lake, offering the most iconic views of Cradle Mountain, through a temperate forest of Antarctic beech.
Day 2
In search of Tasmanian devils
A guided night outing in search of the region's nocturnal wildlife, including the Tasmanian devil, the island's emblematic and now endangered carnivorous marsupial.
Days 1-2
The road to the east coast and Freycinet National Park, where Wineglass Bay owes its name to its perfect wine-glass shape, a curve of immaculate white sand framed by pink granite hills. Repeatedly named among the world's most beautiful beaches by international magazines, the bay remains accessible only via a hiking trail from an overlooking viewpoint, which preserves its isolation despite its fame.
Day 1
The Wineglass Bay lookout
A hike to the Wineglass Bay lookout, offering the classic view over its perfect curve of white sand, then a descent to the beach itself for a swim in the crystal-clear waters.
Day 2
Sea kayaking around the Freycinet Peninsula
A sea kayaking outing around the Freycinet Peninsula, between pink granite hills plunging into turquoise water, with a chance to spot dolphins.
