Land, relax, arrive
We understand the challenge of getting from Canberra to the Snowy Mountains, especially in winter. Your uniformed driver meets you at arrivals and helps with your luggage (just let us know about any flight delay before we leave), so you can sit back and enjoy the scenery on the way up.
Every airport transfer is private and tailored to your plans: individuals, couples, families and groups of up to 10 people per vehicle, in modern alpine-ready vehicles fitted with winter tyres from June to October. Winter books out early, so please request your quote as soon as you have your flights.

Where we go
Airport transfer questions
How long does Canberra Airport to Perisher or Thredbo take?
Allow about three hours, including a 10-minute refreshment stop at a local café on the way.
Can we pick up groceries on the way?
Yes. If you're staying in self-contained accommodation, place a Woolworths click & collect order at Woolworths Cooma (not Jindabyne) for your travel day, and we'll collect it on the way up. It replaces the coffee stop: it's one stop or the other, not both. Let us know when you book.
What if my flight is delayed?
Please let us know as soon as you know. We text you the night before, and the drive up to the airport can take 2.5 hours or more, so we need to hear about delays before we leave. If you tell us in advance, we simply leave later and there's no extra charge. If we're already at the airport and waiting longer than 30 minutes, a waiting fee of $22 per 15 minutes applies.
Can you drop us at our lodge in Perisher or Charlotte Pass?
In winter the road ends at the Perisher Valley terminal (the Skitube building), so that's where we drop off and collect. From there, the over-snow transfer or your lodge's own transport takes you to your accommodation. We can reach some Smiggin Holes lodges directly, so just ask. Charlotte Pass guests take the Charlotte Pass over-snow transfer from Perisher in winter. In Thredbo and Jindabyne, we take you to your door.
Can I fly into Cooma?
Snowy Mountains Airport in Cooma has no commercial passenger flights at the moment, so most visitors fly into Canberra. We do meet private charter aircraft at Cooma airport and private planes and helicopters at the Jindabyne airstrip, on request. Transfers from Cooma town to Thredbo or Perisher are from $328 each way.
Do you collect from Sydney Airport?
Yes. Private transfers from Sydney Airport or the CBD to Thredbo, Perisher or Jindabyne are from $1,839 each way for 1–4 passengers.
Can you take skis, snowboards and lots of luggage?
Yes. Our enclosed luggage pod trailer and ski racks are free on request, so larger groups can bring everything.
Are child seats included?
Yes. Baby seats and boosters are free. Just tell us your children's ages when you book.
How do you get to Charlotte Pass in winter?
In winter the road beyond Perisher closes, so we take you to Perisher Valley for your oversnow connection to Charlotte Pass. Once the road reopens in spring, we drive you all the way.
What our airport passengers say
Thank you so much for driving me and my family safe to Thredbo from Canberra airport and back. Lars is so knowledgeable & kind. I highly recommend this service.
Lars took our group up to Thredbo Village with a return trip back about a week later. The drive was safe and smooth in dumping conditions. A trailer was loaded up with all our gear & we had a lot of it but the trailer swallowed it all.
Snowlink came to our rescue when Virgin had multiple mechanical issues that blew our connection with our coach service. They also didn't gouge us on price.
Leanne and Lars were super helpful with the organisation of our family trip from Jindabyne to the snow fields. Great communication the whole time. … It's not a matter of if, but when we come back.
