Tumut Area

From great outdoor adventures to delicious fresh produce, the beautiful Tumut region in the NSW Snowy Mountains offers many memorable experiences.

The charming towns in the high country are delightful places to stay, with the snowfields in easy reach during the skiing and snowboarding season.

You’ll find wonderful things to do, including bushwalking, mountain biking and horse riding in state forests and Kosciuszko National Park.

Great walks include Landers Falls Lookout Walk, Blowering Cliffs Walking Track and Jounama Creek Walking Track.

Dating back up to two million years, the dramatic Yarrangobilly Caves are well worth exploring.

Have a dip in the nearby thermal spring waters where the water is a constant 27 degrees all year round.

The fishing is fantastic, with Australia’s highest peaks a magnificent backdrop. Pristine waters flow from melting snow caps in spring into crystal-clear streams and lakes teeming with trout. Blowering Dam and Talbingo Dam are also popular for fishing and boating.

Take a tour of the Tumut River Brewing Co. and taste delicious craft beers. Famous for apples, Batlow is home to one of Australia’s iconic ‘big things’ – the Big Apple. In the picking season from February to late May, browse fresh apples at farm gates and at roadside stalls outside orchards.
