About this place
The Snowy Mountains in winter are pure magic — Perisher, Thredbo, and Mount Blue offer ski runs from beginner-friendly to advanced terrain. Australia's highest peak, Mount Kosciuszko (2,228m), is accessible by chairlift from Perisher and offers stunning views in any season. In summer the same slopes become hiking trails through alpine wildflowers.
