Winter Your Way: Make yourself at home this ski season at one of these cosy Australian alpine getaways

With the best start to the ski season in over 20 years, many Australians are considering booking that long awaited winter getaway following interrupted seasons during the past two years.

The New South Wales and Victorian high country is increasingly seen by travellers as a year round holiday proposition, with hiking, mountain-biking, and fishing growing in popularity, but there is no denying that the winter months are when places like Jindabyne, Thredbo, and Perisher in NSW, and Mt. Hotham, Mt. Buller, and Falls Creek, in Victoria come alive. In fact, the Australian alps get more annual snowfall than their Swiss counterparts, a reason as good as any to enjoy the winter season right here in the land most well known for sun, sand and surf.

With many ski fields experiencing healthy early-season snowfall, Airbnb has revealed a selection of the most wishlisted winter listings in Australia, made easier to find by searching the new Categories feature on Airbnb including ‘skiing’ and ‘ski in / ski-out’. You’ll have to get in quick though.

“With Australian ski fields experiencing near-perfect conditions for the start of the season, many Australians are planning for a winter getaway that will see them enjoying the slopes and surrounds in some exceptional Airbnb properties.” said Susan Wheeldon, Airbnb’s Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand.

“With properties across the Australian ski fields that cater to families, romantic getaways, incredible views and unique offerings, it’s no wonder that Australians are planning for and dreaming of where they want to stay so that they can revel in the ideal conditions and get amongst the action.

“We know that many in the Australian Host community who are based in the ski fields have done it tough at times over the past two years with lockdowns, border closures and the ongoing implications of last minute cancellations due to COVID-19. So this season Hosts are delighted to welcome guests back into their homes for memorable winter getaways.”
