There's no better time to explore the Snowy Valleys!
Whether you're chasing outdoor adventures or looking for a cosy escape from the winter chill, there's something for everyone.

Discover the Snowy Valleys Sculpture Trail, meet the friendly animals at Crafty Cider on your way to Tumbarumba or just take a scenic drive through our beautiful region, wander the walking tracks at Adelong Falls, or enjoy a picnic beside the Tumut River and beyond.

Step inside Beyond the Front Line, located beneath the Batlow RSL, and uncover the fascinating stories and history of Batlow and our war heros. When hunger strikes, call into the The 'new' Batlow Hotel for a hearty counter meal and warm country hospitality.

And while you're out and about these school holidays, be sure to stop in at The Inconvenience Store in Batlow. Browse a wonderful range of local produce, handcrafted gifts, gourmet treats and unique treasures, and take home your own little piece of Batlow.

Make a day of it—or better still, stay a little longer and discover why the Snowy Valleys is such a special place to visit in winter. 🍎❄️
