☀️ SUMMER WALKING SEASON IS HERE IN THE SNOWY MOUNTAINS 🏔️
As we head into the summer walking season, Fire and Rescue NSW Perisher Valley and Thredbo are reminding all visitors to take extra care when venturing into the alpine environment.
While the snow may be gone, alpine conditions can still change rapidly. Weather forecasts can deteriorate quickly, temperatures can drop unexpectedly, and strong winds, storms, and low visibility can develop with little warning.
Before heading out:
✅ Check weather forecasts before you leave and monitor updates regularly throughout your trip.
✅ Let someone know your plans and expected return time.
✅ Carry appropriate clothing, food, water, and navigation equipment.
✅ Contact NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) before heading into the backcountry to obtain the latest track, weather, and safety information.
✅ If you're travelling away from major tourist areas, remember that NSW National Parks has Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs/EPIRBs) available for hire, providing an important emergency communication option if things go wrong.
Also fill out a trip intention form with the NSWNPs
https://bookings.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/public/npws/trips/intention?site=NPWS
Importantly, if at any stage you find yourself out of your comfort zone, unsure of your location, affected by deteriorating weather, or unable to safely continue, don't wait until the situation becomes critical.
Calling for help early is always preferable to waiting until a minor problem becomes a major emergency. Early notification allows emergency services to respond sooner and can significantly reduce the risk to both walkers and rescuers.
Fire and Rescue NSW crews at Perisher Valley and Thredbo are the primary emergency response agencies who work under NSW Police across much of the Snowy Mountains alpine region. We regularly assist walkers and visitors who become lost, injured, exhausted, or caught out by changing conditions.
The best rescue is the one that never has to happen. Staying informed, planning ahead, and keeping up to date with current conditions can make all the difference.
Enjoy the spectacular alpine environment this summer, but please walk safely, stay prepared, stay informed, and don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it.
