The view from up there is spectacular and the ride down very thrilling . It was a bit scary being so steep but the bikes provided had very good brakes.

The views were amazing from the top, as they were on the drive up. Wish I had wrapped up more - it was freezing at the top but well worth it!

Very very cold but a must to visit. Views are spectacular and there was snow plenty of times in 2012. Would love to see a cable car and coffee shop or restaurant there.

Loved everything but just remember to dress warmly! The drive up sounded like it would be a little frightening but it was no trouble at all.

Mount Wellington is well worth a look out over Hobart on a clear day. We was lucked out trying to get there before the cloud, so recommend to try and visit it in summer not winter.

Great views from the top of the mountain, worth visiting summer and winter. Also worth a visit on a clear night. :)

This is a must if you're travelling to Hobart, the views are simply amazing! Make sure you take a big warm coat though, the even if it's a warm day the winds are strong and very cold up at the peak.

It's a long way to the top, but well worth it. Beautiful views and the shelter is great to go in and look all around Hobart. It's probably better than if you'd flown in. It is really beautiful - but take a coat. Seriously. It is VERY cold up there.

It's best to make your way on a clear day to get the best views. We went up at 10 am and managed to still see the ice before it melted.
