Discover Summer in the Snowy Mountains: Your Ultimate Adventure Guide
When the winter snow melts away, the Snowy Mountains transform into a vibrant, sun-drenched playground for outdoor enthusiasts. While Jindabyne is famous as a winter basecamp, summer in the region reveals an entirely new landscape of blooming alpine wildflowers, sparkling lakes, and endless adventure.
If you are planning a warm-weather getaway and staying at our eco-friendly, off-grid cabins at Touchdown Cottages, you are perfectly positioned to explore the very best of the region. Here are some of the top things to do in the Snowy Mountains this summer!
Top Summer Activities Around Jindabyne
From high-altitude hikes to relaxing afternoons by the water, there is something for everyone just a stone's throw from your cottage.
Conquer the Roof of Australia: No summer trip is complete without tackling the Mount Kosciuszko Summit Walk. You can take the scenic chairlift from Thredbo and enjoy a manageable 13-kilometre return hike through breathtaking alpine scenery, historic huts, and vibrant summer flora.
Make a Splash on Lake Jindabyne: The pristine waters of the lake are fed by cool alpine rivers, making it a haven for water lovers. Spend your days kayaking, wakeboarding, and swimming or simply enjoy a leisurely stand-up paddleboarding session exploring hidden coves along the foreshore.
Hit the Mountain Bike Trails: The Snowy Mountains region is a premier destination for cyclists. Test your skills on the professionally built tracks at Thredbo Resort, a top mountainbiking destination. For something closer to home, the Bungarra Alpine Centre just outside of town offers lots of fun to be had. If you're after a longer adventure, take on the thrilling Thredbo Valley Track for a scenic descent.
Cast a Line: The local rivers and lakes are world-renowned for trout fishing. Whether you are an expert fly fisher or a beginner, the calm summer waters are perfect for a relaxing afternoon. Alternatively, visit the nearby Gaden Trout Hatchery to learn about the local ecosystem and feed the fish!
Unwind at Your Off-Grid Retreat
After a big day of hiking, biking, or boating, retreat to the peaceful bushland of Touchdown Cottages. Located just minutes from the Jindabyne town centre at 150 Barry Way, our cottages are designed for you to truly slow down and disconnect.
Take advantage of our newly upgraded solar and battery systems, connect to the Starlink WiFi to share your holiday snaps, and pour a drink as the sun sets. If you are up early (or relaxing in the evening), you might even spot our resident emus, deer, kangaroos, and black cockatoos right outside your door!
