We both climbed the nut 15 yrs ago and came back now with two kids aged 5 & 7. The chair lift was closed so we walked (best way to do it! If you can!). Our kids run up, but we all stopped now and then. It's absolutely worthwhile, once you get to the top, to do the 2km walk... More

We first came two years ago. Loved it so much, we came back again. We did the steep climb up with our four year old. No problems, just took our time enjoying the spectacular views & photo opportunities. The walk around the top is fairly easy, with amazing views at all the various lookouts. Just not suitable for wheelchairs or... More

The Nut is probably the most famous icon in the Stanley area. It is certainly a unique natural feature. Located in the middle of Stanley it is a must see attraction. You can access the summit via chairlift (when it's operating) or walking. While the walk to the top is only around 400m, it's steep and challenging for those who... More

I decided The Nut was worth getting up early to visit so got up before the sun to get to the top for the sunrise. Obviously the chairlift is not functioning at that hour. So had to take the short but very steep path. Great workout for the calves. Did the full walk around the top and there was a... More

The iconic Nut at Stanley is a must for a visit. Travel up by cable car, walk the curcuit arounf the top in about 45 mins. The views are really spectacular - and so are the winds at times! We chose to walk back down but you can get the cable car down if you don't mind looking outwards! A... More

Take the time to get to the top of 'The Nut', either by cable chair, or huff and puff up the 430 metre track. (worth it!!) When you arrive, there is a 2 km walk around the top, and worth every step, with amazing 360 degree views.

What a view. this is second to none on the North coast. Breathtaking and opportunities for the photo keen to get some beautiful shots of Bass straight and Stanley as well. Take warm clothes with you as it gets a bit blowy up there. There are paths made by the forestry for you to walk on. There is a short... More

My husband & I did the walk up the Nut not just once, but twice! (yes, we know about the chair lift and that would be the way to go if you're not keen on walking). It's a short, but very steep, climb and the views from the top are well worth the effort. Once at the top there's an... More
