The Snowy Mountains region is alive year-round with each of its towns having their own unique character. Take a drive and take some time to discover the resorts, towns and villages of our region.

Surrounding the park are charming towns, with Jindabyne, Berridale and Cooma to the east, Bombala and Delegate in the south, and Adaminaby and Tumut in the north.
There are a number of ways to get to the Snowy Mountains, with increased transport services throughout the snow season from June to October.

It’s a five hour drive from Sydney and only two hours from Canberra to the heart of the region.
