When winter arrives, coating the mountains with glistening snow, it’s time to embrace the enchanting wonderland of the snowy mountains. Whether you’re an adventure seeker, a nature enthusiast, or someone who loves the charm of winter landscapes, the snowy mountains offer an array of thrilling activities and breathtaking vistas. In this guide, we’ll explore the wonders of the snowy mountains and discover the exciting things you can do to make the most of your snow-filled retreat.
What to Do in Snowy Mountains
Hit the Slopes for Skiing and Snowboarding
Few of the most exhilarating activities in the snowy mountains are skiing and snowboarding. With powdery snow and well-groomed slopes, the mountains become a playground for snow lovers. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, there are ski resorts catering to all skill levels. And with ski resorts nestled in Perisher Valley, you have easy access to ski lifts. And the thrill of skiing resting right from your doorstep.
Go Snowshoeing
For those seeking a more serene experience, snowshoeing offers a tranquil way to explore the winter wonderland. Strap on a pair of snowshoes and venture into the pristine landscapes of Kosciuszko National Park. Wander through snow-covered forests, over frozen lakes, and find yourself in awe of the untouched beauty of the snowy mountains.

Experience the Magic of Snow Tobogganing
According to an article by Airhead, for many sleds, the safest way to ride is sitting down, facing forward, giving you maximum visibility as you look ahead to see where the sled is going. Many other sleds and blow up snow sleds, however, offer the thrill of riding in the “skeleton” (lying down) or “luge” (on their backs, face up) position due to the increased thrill and speed of doing so. Pay close attention to instructions and warnings on your snow sled to be sure you’re using it the way it’s designed to be used. Grab an inflatable tube, hop on, and slide down the snowy hills with laughter and joy. It’s a thrilling activity suitable for all ages and a guaranteed way to create unforgettable memories with friends and family. Bring out your inner child and have a blast with snow tubing!
Enjoy a Winter Wonderland Hike
Though the snowy mountains might be known for their winter sports, they also offer incredible hiking opportunities. Strap on your snow boots and explore the snowy trails that wind through the mountains. Witness the pristine beauty of the snow-capped peaks and experience the tranquillity of nature in its winter cloak.

Capture the Northern Lights
If you’re lucky enough to visit the snowy mountains on a clear, cold night, keep an eye out for the magical Northern Lights. Though they are more commonly associated with the Arctic regions, the remote and high-altitude snowy mountains occasionally offer glimpses of these breathtaking celestial displays.
