Tourism Research Australia’s National Visitor Survey reports 1.7 million domestic tourists visiting the Snowy Mountains from March 2022 to March 2023. Most of these tourists visited the Snowy Mountains for accommodation from June to August, making winter the busiest season in the region.

But what is the best time to visit the Snowies? The answer to this question depends on your desired activities, so here are considerations and things you can do based on what season you come by:

Winter

Tourism in the Snowy Mountains is busiest during winter because it’s the best time for winter outdoor activities and the cosiest season for hanging out indoors. Here are some things you can do in the Snowies during winter:

• Skiing
• Snowboarding
• Snowshoeing
• Ice skating
• Trawling
• Snowmobiling
• Food and wine
• Staycation

With diverse activities, visiting the Snowy Mountains during winter is the best choice, with excellentJindabyne snow and accommodation offered by world-class real estate agencies. However, with the number of tourists visiting during this time, hotels, rentals, and flights will be costliest during this season.

Spring

Because of the cosy weather resulting from the humidity and chilly wind, spring is the next busiest time for tourism in the Snowy Mountains. September is considered as the busiest month of the year, as it is the perfect weather for any kind of activities, such as the following:

• Snowsports like skiing and snowboarding are still possible during spring.
• Hiking
• Mountain bike riding
• Roads previously closed and inaccessible during winter open in spring, allowing sightseeing and road-tripping.
• Fishing
• Trekking

If you wish to visit the Snowy Mountains during spring for less expensive prices, you must book accommodations and plane tickets before tourism becomes busier. 

Summer

Experience vibrant and refreshing sceneries during summer in Snowy Mountains as snow melts and clears, and the weather is not too hot for activities like:

• Picnics
• Brunch
• Parties in pubs, clubs, and discos
• Hanging out at restaurants and cafes
• Visiting national parks and museums
• Mountain biking and hiking
• Horse riding
• Birdwatching

The number of Snowy Mountains visitors is lowest during summer, resulting in lower prices for hotels and plane tickets.

Autumn

Experience and explore the rich culture in the Snowy Mountains region when you visit during autumn as you partake in the following activities:

• Easter activities
• Local festivals like the Lake Light Sculpture Festival
• Photography excursions
• Golfing
• Wine and gin tasting
• Relaxing at luxury spas

If you seek favourable accommodation and travel deals, consider visiting the Snowies during autumn when tourism is slow.
