CATCH A FISH
The foothills of the Snowy Mountains offers a wide variety of fishing choices which range from alpine streams, world-renowned rivers, and lakes like Eucumbene, Jindabyne and Khancoban Pondage. Endless opportunities await, with a thousand plus kilometres of wild trout water to wade in. The Snowy Mountains is a must as it is New South Wales' premier trout fishing area. Pursuing these wild mountain fish is one of our favourite spring, summer and autumn activities. With expert guides keen to take you to high fishing spots and also discuss their fishing secrets, no experience is essential. Besides, what better way to experience the tranquillity of the Snowies, than by the side of an alpine stream in the wilderness or by boat on one of our beautiful lakes. A memory that will last a life time.
CLIMB A MOUNTAIN
A chance to hike is waiting at every turn, with a trail system spanning from the sun-drenched, rocky ridge tops at the mountain’s crest to the cool, damp creek bottoms and hollows in the valleys. Test your endurance and climb Mt Kosciuszko, or take in a more relaxed, contemplative experience along the Thredbo Valley Trail. Along the way learn about the local plants and animals that inhabit the mountainside with our well-versed, knowledgeable team of guides. Our wild backyard’s lush natural beauty begs to be discovered. Venture out in search of waterfalls, hidden hollows and rocky mountaintop vistas.
PADDLE SPORTS
Surrounded deep in the beauty of the foothills of the Snowy Mountains, spending time on our many local waterways is one of our favorite ways to spend a spring or summer day. Explore mountain lakes, streams, and wetlands from a canoe, kayak, or standup paddle board, breath in the beauty of the local plant and animal life and the 360 degree views of the mountains. Whether it be sitting at the water's level in a kayak or standing on a stable board above it, these watersport experiences are a great family and group experience and a true guest favourite.
BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL
The Snowy Mountains is a very special part of Australia and we’re in the heart of it. The High Country is achingly beautiful, profoundly challenging & spiritually uplifting. It exerts a powerful influence on those drawn to it, which does not dim, but rather grows overtime. Everything about us links back to our origins and to this pristine, beautiful environment we’re lucky enough to call home.
