Located in the Snowy Mountains, Kosciuszko National Park, a scenic three-hour drive southwest of Sydney, is New South Wales’ largest national park. This diverse landscape offers year-round adventures for all interests.

Hike to the summit of Mount Kosciuszko, Australia’s highest point at 2,228 metres, for breathtaking panoramic views. Explore the Main Range walking track within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve or take a shorter family-friendly stroll along Porcupine Walk at Perisher.

Beyond the walking trails, discover historic huts, vibrant wildflower displays and awe-inspiring lookouts. Horse riding adventures are available in the High Plains or near Khancoban. Explore the fascinating Yarrangobilly Caves, a magical underground network.

Anglers will find excellent fishing opportunities in the lower Snowy and upper Murray Rivers. Cast a line in a mountain stream or reservoir for a chance to catch your dinner. Scenic drives along the Alpine Way and Snowy Mountains Highway provide stunning vistas and access to various park features.
