Important Reading:

Winter temperatures can drop quickly, sometimes down to below minus 10-20 degrees Celsius and it’s not unusual for snow to fall on the Main Range mid-summer; so be sure to get a weather forecast before heading up the mountain for the day.

Summer temperatures can climb as high as the mid-thirties in Jindabyne, but the night-time temperatures can fall to sub-zero on occasion. It a good idea be prepared for any eventuality. During Summer temperatures will always be a few degrees cooler when your higher in the mountains, so on a hot day, head for the hills if you need relief. The rivers climb to the top, and following them up can be a real treat.

Whether you are out and about in Summer or winter, always carry waterproof jackets and wear layers of clothing that can be removed as you go. When walking or camping in the mountains, always inform friends or family of your intended route and when you are likely to return. You can also enter your details in the Walkers Registry Book at the Snowy Region Visitor Centre, located in Jindabyne.
