Winter has arrived

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 across the region.

As winter settles over the mountains, the whole landscape changes character. Crisp air, frosty mornings, and drifting valley mist transform the escarpments into something quieter, moodier and deeply atmospheric.

It’s the perfect time to slow the pace. Clear, sunny days deliver some of the year’s best bushwalking conditions, with long views under bright blue skies, while cold afternoons practically insist you find a crackling fire and a hearty meal in a cosy village pub or café.

Then there’s the way the mountains lean into the season. Yulefest lights up July with traditional midwinter feasts, mulled wine and nostalgic festive cheer in historic hotels and guesthouses, while Winter Solstice and midwinter events bring music, storytelling and community warmth to villages up and down the ridgeline.

Whether you are planning a rugged weekend on the trails, a foodie escape, or a quiet few days tucked up by the fire, winter in the Blue Mountains gives you every reason to stay a little longer, and Ask Roz is here to help you find the very best of it.
