Starting from Jindabyne, the road to the pass is 39.7 km (24.66 miles) long. The drive offers stunning views of Australia’s highest mountains.The pass is located in the Kosciuszko National Park and provides access to some of Australia's highest alpine terrain and was formerly a stop off point for public vehicular access to Mount Kosciuszko, though the road now terminates at the pass.
