Adventurous weekend away in the Snowy Mountains

Australia’s snowfields and alpine areas are often overlooked when it’s not ski season, however there is just as much to do – if not more when the snow has melted!

Lake Crackenback Resort is a 20 minute drive from Thredbo (a popular ski resort town) and around 2 and a half hours drive from Canberra. It’s a self contained area, with a restaurant, leisure equipment provided, small convenience store, day spa, and many other facilities.

We stayed in March (not this year due to the Corona virus), which meant the weather was cooling off, but by no means too cold. We kayaked on the lake, went bushwalking where we saw lots of native animals and birds, did some archery, had a BBQ, and went out to explore Thredbo, climb Mt. Kosciusko (Australia’s highest mountain) as well as lunching at Eagles Nest (Australia’s highest altitude restaurant) and in Jindabyne.

If you want a holiday full of outdoor activities, fresh air, and relaxation, this area of Australia is perfect for you.

Hello @Istillwannahavefun ,

Such an amazing area! Thank you for sharing your trip and photos with us.

The first photo looks very beautiful and haunting, did you take it early in the morning?

I love very much this diversity of landscape and the contrast between the green and the rocky mountains.

Thank you @Ant_Bad_Yogi for your comment!

@BorrisS Yes the lake is known for beautiful early morning views with fog as it cools in the autumn. As all the lake apartments had small decks over the lake, it was easy to pop out early in the morning to get some great shots! Thanks for the comments!
