Things to do

A winter holiday in the Snowies is a multi-faceted affair. Spa treatments, yoga sessions, night flare runs and festivals are just as much a part of the winter action as icicles and snowballs.

Don’t miss

• Take a self-guided walk alongside a racing Snowy Mountains river or enjoy a leisurely stroll through a pretty alpine village to shop for the latest ski gear.
• Enjoy an energetic après-ski scene with plenty of choice – a romantic dinner for two, a pizza or spicy Thai meal with friends, a quiet gluhwein by an open fire or a romping, stomping night with live bands.
• Work out in the gym or on the squash court, swim in the Olympic-size heated pool or tackle the 30-metre climbing wall at Thredbo Leisure Centre.
• Try a change of pace – and scenery – as a cross-country skier on Perisher's network of more than 100 kilometres of marked runs for all ability levels.
• Take a day trip over the snow for lunch at the historic Kosciuszko Chalet, first on-snow accommodation for visitors to the Snowy Mountains.
• Watch the up-and-coming stars of skiing and snowboarding at one of the thrilling on-snow competitions held throughout the season at Perisher and Thredbo.
• Take an exclusive tour after the day's skiing is over onboard Perisher's $450,000 snow groomer in the evening.
• Watch the slopes and skies light up with Thredbo's traditional Saturday night fireworks and flare run.
• Enjoy a luxurious spa treatment with wilderness vistas outside.
