Winter has arrived, sort of

We've had no snow yet, but fingers crossed for later in the season.


The Blue Mountains are open for your enjoyment.


Discover the very best of the Blue Mountains with Ask Roz Blue Mountains, the most popular and trusted source of visitor information in the greater Blue Mountains region.


When winter hits the Blue Mountains, the region shifts into something truly special. The air turns incredibly crisp, morning frost blankets the clifftops, and thick valley mist rolls in, making the ancient landscape feel beautifully quiet and hidden.


It’s a season built for slowing down. Clear, sharp days offer the year's best bushwalking conditions, yielding endless views under bright skies, while chilly afternoons are made for tracking down a crackling open fire and a hearty meal in a cosy village pub.


But the real magic lies in how we embrace the cold. To make up for a warm December, the mountains come alive with Yulefest throughout July, bringing traditional midwinter feasts, mulled wine, and festive cheer to historic guesthouses. 


Around the Winter Solstice, local festivals celebrate the longest night of the year with music, storytelling, and community warmth. Whether you're chasing a rugged weekend on the trails or a quiet escape by the fire, winter up here gives you every reason to stay a little longer.
