Six things to do in the Snowys in Summer
Exploring the Alpine areas of Australia is a perfect summer pastime - especially if you enjoy mild summer weather instead of cold, wet snow. There is plenty to see and do for those seeking adventure, or for anyone just wanting to unwind.
1. Stand on top of Mt Kosciuszko - and enjoy the uninterrupted views, the clean air, and the amazing vegetation revealed by the thawing snow.
2. Buy fresh fruit from a roadside farm stall; cut out the middle man and re-discover what fresh really tastes like.
3. Get on your bike and enjoy an area fast becoming a mecca for mountain bikers and road cyclists alike.
4. Discover the Snowy Hydro Scheme by visiting one of the many dams, power stations or Visitor Centres and learn about the area's history.
5. Eat and drink your way to happiness; the area has everything you could want from a quick snack to gourmet food and wine.
6. Get wet! The areas many lakes and rivers provide ample opportunities for all kinds of swimming, boating and other water activities.
To help you on you way browse the Rooftop or Spatial Vision range of maps and outdoor recreational guides, or find the topographic map you need for your walk or 4WD.
