Snowy Mountains Tours

Snowy Mountains tours from Sydney are coach trips to the snow in Kosciuszko National Park, with Thredbo and Perisher Valley as the main resorts. You leave Sydney the night before and arrive in the morning, with national park entry included and, on some trips, gear hire and a lesson. For the wider region, see things to do in the Snowy Mountains.

Snow day tours to Thredbo and Perisher

A snow day tour gets you to a resort and leaves the day to you. The Thredbo Snow Tour From Sydney takes you to Thredbo Village and the ski resort, and the Perisher Valley Snow Tour From Sydney goes to Perisher Valley. Both are popular choices, and both include return coach transfers, national park entry and a 7-hour window of free time.

Use that time to ski or snowboard, hire snow gear at a discount (at your own cost) or wander the village. One-way transfers and a Perisher drop-off are available for people who want to stay on.

Learning to ski from Sydney

For a first lesson, the Snowy Mountains Learn to Ski Adult Package bundles the coach to Bullocks Flat Ski Tube Terminal, a breakfast snack, jacket and pants hire, skis, boots, poles and a helmet, a 2-hour lesson in Blue Cow from 10am and a limited beginner lift pass. The Ski Tube ride up is part of the package.

Snow play without skis

The Snowy Mountains Snow Play Tour from Sydney is a full-day trip for people who want to be in the snow without skiing. A ski jacket and pants, apres boots, national park entry and return Ski Tube rail transfers are included, and snow-licensed drivers handle the road.

The overnight coach and the Ski Tube

These tours depart Sydney Central Station at 10.45pm, or Parramatta Westfield at 11.30pm, the night before, with pick-up times that can differ between low and peak season. The Ski Tube is Australia's only alpine railway, a Swiss-designed rack-rail train that links Bullocks Flat, Perisher Valley and Blue Cow, with about 6.3 km of the line underground through the Ramshead Range.

Choosing a Snowy Mountains tour

Choose a resort tour for time on your own terms, a learn to ski package for a lesson with gear sorted, and a snow play day when skis aren't the plan. These tours run in the snow season, so check the dates on each product page before you plan around them.
