Snow Chains

 

 

 

It is compulsory to carry properly-fitting snow chains if you are driving a two-wheel-drive vehicle from the June to October long weekends on the following roads:

 

• Kosciuszko Road from the park boundary at Thredbo River
• the Alpine Way between Thredbo and Tom Groggin
• the Island Bend/Guthega Road for its full length

 

Chains may also be required in certain weather conditions on the Alpine Way between Jindabyne and Thredbo and the Snowy Mountains Highway. Check road conditions before you travel.

 

For this reason the RTA recommends that chains be carried during winter along the Alpine Way between Jindabyne and Thredbo and when travelling along the Snowy Mountains Highway.

 

Snow chains should be fitted as directed by authorised NPWS, RTA and Police officers.

 

4WD vehicles are not required by law to carry snow chains but due to the high incidence of 4WD vehicle accidents in Kosciuszko National Park, the RTA now recommends they do-especially if drivers have little experience driving in snow/ice risk sections.
