Kosciuszko Road
The Kosciuszko Road is a scenic road in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, Australia which ascends from the town of Jindabyne, enters the Kosciuszko National Park and terminates at the ski resort village of Charlotte Pass. It traverses snowy wilderness areas and provides access to the Perisher ski resort.[1] The road formerly provided public vehicular access to the summit of Mount Kosciuszko, Australia's highest mountain, however the final summit road now terminates at Charlotte Pass.[2]
The road traverses some of Australia's highest terrain and, in winter, is subject to heavy snowfalls and is generally closed beyond Perisher Valley in winter, during which time access to Charlotte Pass is by over-snow transport. In warmer months, the road provides access to walking routes to Mount Kosciuszko and the Main Range.
