See yourself in Canberra, the perfect winter retreat

Many skiers are now realising the real value in stopping over in Canberra as a more pleasant way to break the trip to the NSW snow fields.

Being much closer to the snow than Sydney you can fly, take a coach or drive to Canberra to explore all the nation's capital has to offer, then take a pleasant drive to the snow fields - less than three hours away.

With comfortable accommodation to suit all budgets and national attractions which will keep you busy for days, the Canberra region is ideal for the perfect winter getaway.

A weekend is certainly not enough to enjoy the delights of Canberra, so linger longer next ski season and take a closer look at your national capital.
