Celine Cremer, 31, was last seen in Waratah near Cradle Mountain on June 17 and was reported missing on Monday.
A wide search was launched around the Philosopher Falls Track area after crews found her vehicle in the car park.
Inspector Anthea Maingay said the missing woman was an inexperienced hiker who was only prepared for a light day of travel.
"At this stage, it's looking like she's just lost," she told reporters.
"There's nothing else to indicate there's anyone else involved at this point in time."
Rescuers on the ground and in the police helicopter are battling poor weather, including light snowfall.
They will reassess search plans later on Wednesday evening.
The walking track has been shut and anyone who was in the car park since June 17 has been asked to come forward.
