Explore
The Snowy Mountains Highway is a highly scenic route helping to link Tathra on the coast with Tumut at the western foot of the Snowy Mountains, a road distance of 319 km. Travelling time (without stops) is 4 to 5 hours. The highway crosses both arms of the Great Eastern Ranges corridor, south of where the corridor splits to follow the coastal ranges in the east and the Australian Alps in the west.
The highway consists of 2 lanes in good sealed condition the whole way, with occasional passing lanes.
The highway traverses a great diversity of coastal and highland environments including (east to west) the coastal plain, the Bega Valley, the South Coast Range (South East Forest National Park), the Monaro Tableland, the Snowy Mountains (Kosciuszko National Park), Blowering Reservoir and Tumut Valley.
