Merritts Nature Track climbs steeply from Thredbo Village through snow gum forest and alpine vegetation towards Eagles Nest and the upper section of the Kosciuszko Walk. The route is known for its long stair climbs and steady elevation gain, but the higher you climb, the wider the views become across the Snowy Mountains and surrounding alpine ridgelines. Unlike the elevated metal boardwalks higher up near Mount Kosciuszko, this section feels more rugged and forested underfoot, especially through the lower alpine woodland.
