Snowy Mountains:
In winter, the snowy slopes offer skiing and snowboarding at levels to suit everyone. At
other times of the year, you can explore the mountains by horse or on foot along the many
trails. Fish the sparkling lakes and streams. Search for platypus, laze in thermal pools,
try white water rafting or go mountain biking down some of the steepest slopes in the
country.
Visit
Snowy Mountains:
In winter (June to October) the ski resorts at Thredbo, Perisher and Mount Selwyn come
alive. In summer, Kosciuszko National Park is perfect for bush walking, mountain biking,
trout fishing and horse riding.
Adaminaby:
Located 51km northwest of Cooma and 453km southwest of Sydney, Adaminaby is a popular destination with people fishing
for trout around Lake Eucumbene.
Berridale:
The tiny settlement of Berridale calls itself Crossroads of the Snowy because, when miners
were making their way to the goldfields at Adaminaby and Kiandra
from the port at Twofold Bay, they passed through Berridale. Today it's the skiers who
pass through on their way to the snowfields of Thredbo and Perisher Valley.
Snowy River
Winery:
After 20 years of playing host to the tourist trade, Berridale's Snowy River Winery have
closed their restaurant and tasting rooms to concentrate on producing the premium quality
cool climate desert wine that they are renowned for.
Bombala:
Located 504km south west of Sydney and 81km south of Cooma, Bombala is a small and attractive rural service centre located in
the far south east corner of New South Wales. The main road from Cooma to the coast does
not pass through Bombala and therefore the town has remained relatively untouched.
Charlotte Pass:
Kosciusko Chalet:
At 1760 metres, Charlotte Pass Village is the highest resort in Australia and is snowbound
for most of the ski season. The Kosciusko Chalet is a Bavarian style hotel offering ski

Mountains Scheme, ski resorts, lakes and rural areas are all a leisurely drive away.

Offering some of the best trout fishing in Australia, Eucumbene Lodge is situated on the
shores of Lake Eucumbene, just across the dam wall at Eucumbene Cove.

The first ski lodges in the valley opened in 1951 and by 1957 there were a number of ski
clubs operating. Since then it has continued to grow so that today it is widely regarded
as the premier ski spot in the Snowy Mountains. Unlike Thredbo though, it is not a 12
months of the year resort and looks a little like a ghost town during the summer months.

metres altitude, in world heritage listed Kosciuszko National Park. Conveniently located
