A popular skiing and snowboarding destination, the Snowy Mountains region is located in southern NSW and includes the Kosciuszko National Park.

Major centres within the Snowy Mountains include Jindabyne, Cooma, Tumut, Tumbarumba, Berridale, Dalgety and Bombala.

During snow season, from June to September, you can visit the snow resorts of Thredbo, Perisher, Charlotte Pass and Mount Selwyn. With year-round fly fishing, the warmer months are ideal for mountain biking, bush walking and horse riding activities.

The region is well known for the Snowy Mountains Scheme, Australia’s greatest engineering project that creates hydro-electricity. Other attractions include the UNESCO-protected Biosphere Reserve, the limestone Yarrangobilly Caves, the Tuross Falls and the platypus reserve in Bombala.
