Visit Snowy Valleys Snowy Valleys: Always in season
Get on track to get off the clock So come, visit the Snowy Valleys – and find out what’s in-season.

There’s a place – tucked away just past the mountains, but just before the plains – that still runs to the rhythms of the seasons. Where you have to wait for spring for the snows to melt into crystal clear streams perfect for fly-fishing. Where you have to wait for our cool summers to arrive for the harvest of the grapes that make for truly unique, small-batch wines. Where you have to wait for win

ter to drop natural, pure, fluffy snow on the slopes of Mount Selwyn. But that’s the beauty of true seasons – while you’re waiting for the next one, you can enjoy the joys of the one you’re in.
