The Snowy Mountains’ first ski club was established during the Kiandra goldrush, which signalled the start of the ski tourism industry in the area. There are currently four winter resorts in operation: Perisher, Thredbo, Charlotte Pass and Selwyn Snow Resort. 20,000 BC

Australia’s high country has long been a favourite winter tourism destination thanks to its pristine snow fields, but this is a place that inspires discovery all year round. Warmer seasons see the valleys awash with coloured foliage, an abundance of hiking trails and treks reveal hidden caverns and thermal pools, and thrill seekers can scale new heights on foot or by mountain bike. One of the few regions that experiences four distinct seasons, the Snowy Mountains is worth exploring all year-round. Winter
Make the most of the area’s namesake snowfall in winter, with average temperatures hovering between five degrees and minus four (though it’s not uncommon for it to plunge suddenly so be prepared for all weather conditions). Spring
Spring welcomes a spectacular transformation to the region, with snow shed from the ranges surging into the rivers below. Tops of 12 degrees and lows of zero make this the perfect time of year for white-water rafting and exploring the terrain on foot. Summer
Summer temperatures can soar as high as the mid-30s, however evenings dip as low as sub-zero on occasion, making it the perfect time of year for a river swim or mountain bike ride.
