Things to do in the Snowy Mountains
In the Snowy Mountains, there's so much to do, all year long. It's not just about our fabulous winters! In the warmer months the region comes to life with adventure activities, events, festivals and attractions for everyone. Go on an exploration of discovery along one of our truly remarkable scenic drives where you'll find fabulous food and wine and photo opportunities at every turn.
Go horse riding like the Man from Snowy River, enjoy world-class fishing, some of Australia's best mountain biking and road cycling, go hiking and bushwalking in spectacular landscapes, or swimming, kayaking, sailing or water skiing in our magnificent lakes and waterways. Relax with a glass of cold climate wine, beer or schnapps whilst taking in the amazing sights or be inspired by our diverse arts and culture.
The towns in this unique region surround the magnificent Kosciuszko National Park, the country’s largest, where you can climb Australia’s highest peak, Mt Kosciuszko, a very popular 'bucket-list' activity.
Head to the Snowy Mountains at anytime of the year for an experience of a life-time. Take a look below at the popular things to do across the region.
