Location & how to get here

By Road

Guthega forms part of the Perisher ski area and is an easy 5.5 to 6 hour drive from Sydney via Canberra and Cooma or 7 hours from Melbourne with more than half the distance on freeway standard or dual carriage roads. Kosciuszko Road accesses Perisher, Smiggins and Guthega from Jindabyne.

Motorists are legally required to carry properly fitting chains in any vehicle other than 4WD’s within the National Park during winter. If you have an AWD or 4WD car with highway tyres we recommend you hire chains suitable for your vehicle prior to coming into the park as the tyres pattern may not be effective on snow & ice.
