Snowy Mountains
Experience the beauty of every season in the Snowy Mountains
Drive a three-hour scenic trip from Canberra to the Snowy Mountains, and discover beautiful alpine flowers, ski resorts, wild brumbies, fishing, trekking, horse riding, the snowy mountains hydro scheme and much more.
Discover a region alive with seasonal activities. In winter, ski at top resorts including Thredbo, Perisher Blue and Mt Selwyn. In spring and summer, the snowmelt feeds clear alpine streams with superb fishing. The lakes of the Snowy Mountains hydro scheme fill for boating, fishing, paddling and sailing. Bushwalks abound with spectacular displays of wildflowers across the Main Range and Mt Kosciuszko walks from Charlotte Pass or Thredbo. Mountain bikers will thrill with the downhill and cross country trails on offer throughout the region.
In a place steeped with legend and fame of the Man from Snowy River, you may see a brumby on a bushwalk along with countless kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and birds. At the Yarrangobilly Caves, journey into the earth to view stunning frozen waterfalls, limestone caves and underground pools.
