In winter, ski or snowboard the slopes at Thredbo, Perisher or Charlotte Pass. Perisher is the largest ski resort in the Southern Hemisphere. Try cross country skiing or snowshoe the pristine trails amongst twisted snow gums.
As the snow melts you'll discover a walker's paradise. Tracks range from short riverside strolls and moderate day walks, to multi-day hikes. Conquer Mount Kosciuszko, Australia's highest mountain, on the Thredbo to Kosciuszko walk. You can also take longer day walks via the Summit trail or Main Range walk. Or tackle the summit as part of the 4-day Snowies Alpine Walk that connects Guthega, Charlotte Pass, Perisher Vallet and Bullocks Flat. You'll see with alpine panoramas, wildflower meadows and glacial lakes along this
spectacular 56km hike.
Thrill seekers can hit some of Australia's best mountain bike runs, including Thredbo Valley track. The scenery is also a stunning backdrop for festivals, summer fishing, or even a wedding at historic Bullocks Hut.
With year-round alpine activities you'll need several days to make the most of the Snowies. Why not pitch your tent at a riverside campground, or stay at Creel Lodge or Numbananga Lodge.
