A snow-dusted paradise where crystal-clear air, vast powdered bushland, snow-capped peaks and breathtaking views prove to be invigorating, adventurous and awe-inspiring. Couldn’t pass up this opportunity to have an exhilarating skiing experience in the Snowy Mountains!

As an unyielding discoverer, a snow retreat for women (there are other options, too) was one perfect way to embark on a “proper snow experience” over three days and explore alpine landscapes (by ski or snowshoe) at a comfortable pace, with accommodation, meals and guides included. Going with K7 Adventures takes away the stress of logistics or planning.

Visit NSW wants you to plan an escape that’s thrilling, exciting, busy and dynamic. K7 runs tours year-round between the Snowies and Canberra. These include hiking, camping, mountain biking, rock climbing and abseiling in summer, and snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, splitboarding, kite skiing, snow camping, women’s retreats, guided mountain adventures and mountaineering courses in winter.

K7 Adventures is based in Thredbo Village and is led by siblings Lewis and Leah Foster. The team aims to help you connect with nature and yourself, creating immersive mountain experiences that balance challenge and rejuvenation.

“We love the alpine women’s retreats that are designed to inspire mindfulness, personal growth, and adventure in the breathtaking Snowy Mountains,” the duo said.

“The retreats foster wellbeing through physical activity and mindful exploration, and are led by expert mountain guides with decades of global experience.”

The options range from winter alpine tours to hiking and biking in the warmer months. Each experience encourages movement, presence and appreciation for the natural world.

Kosciusko winter camping is when you enjoy a snow survival course to learn where and how to set up camp, build a snow shelter (conditions permitting) and stay safe.

K7 Adventures is an Ecotourism Australia-certified business operator that has been recognised for its commitment to sustainable practices and responsible tourism. It aims to share these fragile and resilient natural spaces in a manner that allows you to feel both invigorated and inspired.

The team proudly follows a “tread lightly” approach to guiding visitors through the national park, ensuring sustainable, responsible travel that honours the fragile alpine environment. Expert local guides with more than 20 years’ experience run the Snowy Mountains tours, from hiking to backcountry skiing.

Why are the K7 retreats known as “adventure with intention”? These outings are for women who want to experience the beauty of winter in the mountains at their own pace.

“We create mountain adventures that help you focus, be present, and make the most of each moment. Our retreats strike the perfect balance between challenge and reward, giving you the chance to truly experience the Snowy Mountains while reconnecting with yourself and other like-minded explorers.

“We’ve created an all-inclusive retreat with the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation and connection. Whether you’re stepping into snowshoes for the first time or looking to take your skiing beyond the resort, you’ll get to explore breathtaking alpine terrain in a supportive, low-pressure environment.”

The highlight of your holiday will be an unforgettable experience in Australia’s alpine playground!

Snowshoe tours are ideal if you are not a skier and want to get out of the resorts and into the backcountry.

So, what if you are not a skier? The snowshoe tours are perfect if you want to get out of the resorts and into the backcountry. You will not require any previous skills or experience. This activity is suitable for all ages, all levels of fitness and can be easily tailored to suit your needs. You’ll be in safe hands with the experienced guides. All you need to do is enjoy the view and concentrate on the pursuit at hand.

If Kosciusko winter camping is more to your liking, opt for it as you enjoy a half-day, easy day or full-day snow survival course to learn where and how to set up camp, build a snow shelter (conditions permitting) and stay safe. Why not camp overnight in the snow and experience the wild beauty of the high-altitude winter environment?

You will learn essential competencies for the wilderness: weather, navigation, group management, hydration and how to prevent hypothermia. Refine your skills as you plan half-day snowshoe trips on the first day and on the second day, climb Mount Kosciuszko!

K7 guides will take you out into nature to experience the best the Snowy Mountains have to offer, then bring you back safely to the warmth and buzz of local village life. Group sizes are small, no more than six people.

Whether you are looking to go on your first snow holiday or are a proficient skier, Tourism Snowy Mountains has everything you need to ensure you have a wonderful time. It’s such a vibrant period of energetic fun, captivating activity and exultation!
