Cooma - Gateway to the Aussie Snow Country
That title might upset those south of the NSW - VIC border, but for those
from NSW, Cooma is in fact just that.
The once quiet country town has become a vibrant year round destination and launch point for those heading to the ’snowy’. Winter brings the skiers and
snow borders and summer those wishing to see the high county to walk, horse ride,, fish or just relax.
Few people realize that the Australian alpine/ snow region is in fact larger than the whole of
Switzerland. Although the mountains aren’t as high as other ski regions of the world it remains a
favorite winter time destination for skiers Australia wide.
In recent years the alpine region has also become a popular summer time getaway destination. And this increase in tourism has raised the profile of Cooma along with it. It has become the hub
for the whole region and being just a four hour drive from Sydney and just over an hour from
Canberra the weekends bring hordes from the north.
So Cooma is worth a visit no matter what the season.
