WINTER: Perisher Valley is situated in the heart of the Australian Snowfields and is arguably the best Ski field in Australia, with 50 ski lifts, 1250 hectares of down hill ski area and 104 klms of cross country ski trails. Kosciuszko Mountain Retreat is just a short 15 klm drive, on sealed and safe roads to the ski slopes. You can be closer to the slopes without the high cost of on snow accommodation and just a 15 minute drive down the mountain are the shops, supermarket, restaurants, clubs and movie theatre at Jindabyne.

SUMMER: The many full and half day trips from 'Kosciuszko Mountain Retreat' make it difficult to choose from all the activities that are available. These include: Bushwalking especiallyThe Summit Walk, Yarrangobilly Caves, The Mountain Slide and the Chairlift Ride. Play golf or tennis, go horse riding, fishing or bike riding or sit back and relax in one of the faulous mountain restaurants. Both ardent and casual bushwalkers are amazed by the diversity and the beauty of the Snowy Mountains Wilderness. At "Kosciuszko Mountain Retreat" you can pick up maps and directions for 25 different walks. By far the most popular walk in summer is the summit walk to the top of Mt Kosciuszko. However, there are also a number of shorts walks with the beauty ' and feeling of the Snowy Mountains. These are ideal for families and dont over tax the short legs in the group. In spring and summer, fishing takes over as one of the mountain's most popular activities, with trout the most sought after fish.The Snowies offer a myriad of fishing environments ranging from alpine streams, world-renouned rivers, and lakes such as Eucumbene, Jindabyne and Khancoban Pondage. As Spring and Summer approaches, the gorgeous wildflowers of the Snowies prepare to bloom. Most wildflowers wait until the snows have melted, then they produce a tapestry of colour in white, yellow, purple and orange.For the less adventurous, or even the passer by, a summer trip on the Crackenback Chair lift is a must. It rises 595 metres from the valley floor over some dramatic scenery and at the top (where there's a restaurant) the views over the valleys and the ranges of the Snowy Mountains are spectacular.

Getting There:

We are just 15 km from the centre of Jindabyne. From Jindabyne, continue along Kosciuszko Road up the mountains towards Perisher Valley and Charlottes Pass (do not make the mistake of turning off towards Thredbo). On the way you will pass through the entrance to Kosciuszko National Park … we are 0.5 km beyond this point. At Sawpit Creek you will pass the Kosciuszko Education Centre. Just 300m further on you will see our park on the left clearly identified by our road sign with its distinctive gum leaf logo.
