From Season to Season with Hertz
You can enjoy the great outdoors all year round, but the activities vary from season to season.
In the winter months, the town truly comes alive. The snow is why many descend to the slopes, with the peaks of Perisher and Thredbo just a short drive away from the centre of the town. Head to Charlotte’s Pass when you’ve arrived at the slopes and enjoy a day on the crisp white snow. For the more advanced skiers, a guided backcountry ski might be a great option for you. There are plenty of tours and trips with companies in the area, so book ahead and enjoy your trip.
Once the snow melts and summer arrives, it’s time to enjoy the mountains in a new and exciting way. Admire the crystal clear Lake Jindabyne from high above: the hikes throughout the area are fantastic and a great way to get outside and into nature. Take a canoeing trip or go fishing on the lake. The area has over 18 kilometres of mountain bike trails, so this is an option for daring holidaymakers.
Some activities operate all year round. Fly high above the slopes on a scenic helicopter tour, where you’ll soar above the highest point in Australia, Mount Kosciuszko, before landing safely in Jindabyne. There are also hot air balloon tours that operate year-round, weather dependent, of course.
