Snowy Mountains Retreat: 19-21 Feb 2021
Join us for our first BEXI retreat of 2021 in the stunning Snowy Mountains – the outdoor adventure playground for the summer.
We are super-excited to be hosting our first ever retreat in the Snowy Mountains, which offers world-class trails for walking, running, mountain biking, road cycling, swimming and horse riding. The weekend also coincides with one of the most scenic trail runs in Australia.
Activities
Whatever takes your fancy – the Snowies has the playground to meet your needs:
| Trail Running – Join our BEXI trail running team and take part in the Snowies Trail Run Festival – choose from 5km to 50k Ultra. There is also an event for the kids. |
| Hiking – Explore the Snowies from the ground up with our abundance of spectacular bush walks or challenge yourself to summiting Mount Kosciuszko. |
| Road Cycling – The quality of road surfaces and minimal summer time traffic, epic climbs and tranquillity of the Kosciuszko National Park, make road riding breathtaking. |
| Mountain Biking – Get in gear and ride through some of Australia’s most spectacular landscapes – from high plains, alpine valleys, forest paths and Gravity Parks. |
| Horse Riding – Ride the land of the mountain horsemen, brumbies, wildflowers and alpine wilderness – you can even follow in the footsteps of the Man from Snowy River. |
| Food & Drink – If you’re looking to kick back and relax – take in the burgeoning food scene that celebrates local producers and seasonal ingredients. |
Accommodation
Our 2-night retreat is located at the stunning Yalara Alpine Ski Lodge in the Perisher Valley. Yalara has accommodation for up to 24 people in nine rooms spread across two levels. Accommodation costs are kept to a minimum as guests do their own cooking in a communal kitchen. Blankets are provided in the bedrooms, however guests must bring their own sheets (or sleeping bags) and towels. Five rooms have their own en-suite bathrooms, while the other rooms share bathrooms.
Meals
All meals will be the responsibly of those guests staying. The lodge has a large communal kitchen with stoves, ovens, microwaves and utensils. Closer to the time, we will explore the option of planning group dinners on Friday and Saturday evenings.
