Lake Albina, Glacial lake in Kosciuszko National Park, Australia.

Lake Albina is a glacial lake in Kosciuszko National Park in New South Wales, sitting at approximately 1,920 meters (6,300 feet) elevation. The water fills a mountain basin with steep walls around it, creating a sheltered alpine setting.

The Lake Albina Ski Lodge was built in 1951 by The Ski Tourers Association, later renamed The Australian Alpine Club, overlooking the lake from upstream. In 1952 the club held the first Albina Summer Slalom Cup on the seasonally unusual snow, and summer ski events continued for at least three more years on Mount Kosciuszko or Mount Townsend. The National Parks and Wildlife Service required the club to vacate the lodge in 1969, and it was demolished in 1983.

The name Albina comes from the ski lodge built above the lake in 1951 by The Ski Tourers Association, later the Australian Alpine Club. In 1952 the club held the first Albina Summer Slalom Cup, a ski race on seasonal snow, and summer ski events continued for at least three more years on Mount Kosciuszko or Mount Townsend.

Getting to this lake requires hiking on trails through the national park as there are no roads to reach it. Be aware that weather and trail conditions change significantly with the seasons, affecting how easy the walk is.

The 6,600-square-metre lake lies in a ravine between Mount Townsend to the west and Mount Lee and Mount Northcote to the east, and drains north through Lady Northcote's canyon toward the Geehi River. The Lake Albina Ski Lodge, built upstream in 1951, was demolished by the National Parks and Wildlife Service in 1983.
