Attractions

Snowy Valleys Council’s main attraction is its pristine natural environment. It is tucked into the western foothills of the Snowy Mountains and is the gateway to some of Australia’s most spectacular alpine landscapes. It is surrounded by idyllic mountain peaks; natural bushland; expansive vineyards; lush agricultural pastures; and crystal-clear streams brimming with trout. The area is perfect for people who live an active outdoor lifestyle and enjoy activities such as bush walking, horse riding, skiing, fishing and cycling.

The softwood timber industry provides a robust economic base for the area, centred around the Visy and Carter Holt Harvey softwood processing mills in Tumut; and the Hyne mill in Tumbarumba.

Other key industries include agriculture, viticulture, tourism, retail, hydro-electricity generation and horticulture. Larger employers include Snowy Hydro Limited, National Parks and Wildlife Service, the Forestry Corporation of NSW, national retail chains and the Mannus Correctional Centre.
