Snowy Mountains

A 3-hour drive from Canberra lies two of Australia’s top ski resorts – Thredbo and Perisher.

Both of these resorts have everything to suit your school’s needs. Whether you’re looking to book the group in at ski school, or just spend some time tobogganing and throwing snowballs, there is something for everyone.

If you are looking to spend a day in the Snowy Mountains, we recommend staying the night at some local accommodation. It can be a long and tiring day for the kids and there are plenty of affordable options nearby.

Corin Forest

Corin Forest is located about 45 minutes out of Canberra and is guaranteed fun for everyone.

A day trip to Corin Forest will provide your group with the opportunity to build snowmen, sled down the slopes and make lifetime memories. There is a small skiing area and ski school available, as well as an exciting alpine slide.

Best of all, their snow machines mean that there is guaranteed snow right throughout the winter months!

This is a great option if you don’t have time to head to the mountains, or if want to keep costs down.
