Get in
The Snowy Mountains are on Australia 's eastern seaboard and are equidistant from Sydney and Melbourne. Most people travel to the region by car as this is the most flexible and rewarding way of exploring the mountains. However for visitors travelling from afar, there are regular bus services to Cooma and Tumut from Sydney and Canberra, and many plane connections into into Canberra with car hire available. The Snowies are well served by a network of sealed roads with diverse and spectacular scenery. The Alpine Way from Jindabyne to Khancoban, the Snowy Mountains Highway between Tumut and Cooma, the Monaro Highway running south from Canberra and the Elliot Way from Tumbarumba to Cabramurra all pass through stunning landscapes. If you are just interested in the skiing, Murrays [2] offer a day trip from Canberra to the ski resorts during the ski season, with lift packages, and one-way fares available. Often you can get this bus for little more than the cost of the lift passes and ski hire. Get around
