NSW Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events, Mr Stuart Ayres said NSW is home to Australia's five highest peaks including Mt Kosciuszko, and four snow resorts, making the Snowy Mountains the perfect location for a winter break with family and friends.
“With the new Rex Express service operating between Sydney and the Snowy Mountains, this wonderful region is now more accessible for domestic and international visitors, and I encourage everyone to begin planning their trip to the Snowy Mountains for an incredible NSW winter experience,” Mr Ayres said.
On the opening weekend of the season, snow blanketed Kosciuszko National Park transforming the alpine resorts into a winter wonderland. More chairlifts and trails are now opening daily.
Destination NSW, CEO, Sandra Chipchase said, “NSW's ski fields offer a broad range of accommodation for a variety of budgets. Visitors can enjoy indulgent winter getaways or budget-friendly weekend getaways for alpine first-timers.”
Destination NSW offers the following itineraries for Snowy Mountains getaways that will suit all budgets:
- Budget
A coach to the Snowy Mountains is an easy and cost-effective way to get to the snow. On arrival, check into Snowy Mountains Resort, the gateway to Selwyn Snowfields. Explore Selwyn's progressive terrain, working across the mountain from beginner to intermediate and advanced trails. Finish your snow trip by relaxing besides the log fire at Snowy Mountains Resort before returning home via coach.
- Mid-Range
Drive five and a half hours from Sydney to the Snowy Mountains and check in to a Mountain View chalet at Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa. Pick up ski hire fromHarro's Snow Sports conveniently located at the Resort before enjoying dinner at the waterfront restaurant, Cuisine. Jump on the Skitube from Bullocks Flat to Perisher Valley to enjoy a day of skiing and boarding exploring over 3,000 acres of skiable terrain across all of Perisher's four resorts including Perisher Valley, Blue Cow, Smiggin Holes and Guthega. Finish the day off with Après ski and listening to live music before heading back to Bullocks Flat via the Skitube.
- Weekend Luxury
Commence a luxury trip to the Snowy Mountains with a private charter to Cooma Snowy Mountains Airport. From there transfer to Thredbo and check in to a ski-in, ski-out chalet before enjoying Thredbo Village bars and restaurants. The following morning, pick up a set of performance skis and enjoy a private one-on-one ski lesson with one off Thredbo's top instructors. In the afternoon, enjoy a scrumptious meal at Eagles Nest, Australia's highest Restaurant with 270 degree views of the alpine region. Cap off the weekend with a spa treatment before returning via private charter from Cooma Snowy Mountains Airport.
With skiing and snowboarding grabbing winter holidaymakers' attention, it's easy to forget that there is plenty to do off-piste.
“Alpine NSW offers many activities including cross-country skiing, trout fishing and snowshoeing through Kosciuszko National Park,” said Ms Chipchase.
