It depends on what the traveller wants. In Winter, visitors can go snow-skiing in some of the mountain areas. In Summer, temperatures are sometimes mild enough for swimming, yet just as comfortable for hiking. It's the best time for northern visitors to tour the island. Autumn and Spring are also good times for hiking and travelling to some of the popular wilderness areas.

A really good walk in Tasmania which can be vary in challenge is the Overland Track. It is a beautiful walk which is very scenic. You can chose to walk it with your pack or you can travel in luxury (in camping manner of speaking) with huts and bases overnight. The walk has many sidetracks which you can enjoy, and is a very rewarding, low risk and peaceful experience.
