Corin Forest, located in the Tidbinbilla Mountain Ranges just 45 minutes from the heart of Canberra, is a year-round alpine adventure. Surrounded by tall forests in a secluded mountain valley, the rustic lodge provides a unique venue in the region.
During winter Corin Forest provides Canberra's only snow experience. Rug up and get set for beginner skiing or snowboarding, with a lesson from one of their fantastic instructors. Visit the dedicated snow play area for tobogganing, snowmen and snowball fights. Afterwards, warm up with a hot chocolate by the fire in the rustic lodge.
In summertime, take in the spectacular views of the Nation's Capital, with Namadgi National Park and Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve right next door. Ride on the exhilarating Alpine Slide that descends 1.2 kilometres through the forest. Enjoy one of their delicious stonebaked pizzas in the picnic area, named among the top 10 picnic spots in Australia. Nearby Square Rock, and Tidbinbilla make for a great day trip amongst Canberra's natural beauty.
Corin Forest is on Corin Dam Road, accessible by car via Point Hut Crossing or the Cotter. Check their Facebook page for updates on road closures and detours on snowy days.

Absolutely loved the alpine slide. Very cost efficient. Feels like unlimited rides experience. Kids had the control of speed and that multiplied their enjoyment by following the safty signs themselves. Beautiful views and lots of kangaroos running around. Very convenient picnic tables. Cafe.100% recommend.

Amazing rides, the workers are friendly and there to support and guide you.
The money paid to was around $30 per person, is it worth it yes to have fun with your friends and family with 3-4 rides of joy and no for the cold freezing weather and trolleys that you sit on requires improvement to rest back fully with safety belt especially for kids.
By 3pm snow skating was closed, sadly didn't have much fun only one ride to avoid the freezing weather which would likely need very warm clothes.
Amazing place overall and needs improvement by adding more fun experiences to try.

Snowplay with Clothes hire
My child and I had a fantastic time! Tips: - arrive at least 45 min early, because it takes time to check in (even if you pre-purchased tickets) and to get your coat/jacket/boots if you've hired them.
- look for the QR signs about filling in the waiver while you are waiting in line, rather than taking up time at the counter doing it then.
- I'm very glad we hired clothes/boots rather than having to pack them for our trip and then take wet gear into the car!
- try to take a couple of nice photos, but then just focus on playing with your kid in the snow and tobogganing! It's lots of fun!!

Had an amazing experience and it's my partner and our son's first time seeing snow!
They had a blast! Had such a great time. Tickets were a little expensive but it was worth it all in the end for the amount of fun we all had!

Had an amazing time on the Alpine Slide! The experience of cruising down the course against the stunning backdrop of the Corin Forest was equal parts exciting and serine :)
The staff were super friendly.. and we must give a special shoutout to Wei who runs the cafe kitchen. Not only does she make the most AMAZING egg sandwiches!!!!! but she was so kind to have a quick chat to make us feel so welcome.
It was definitely worth the long drive in from Sydney and we will surely come back. (Especially for those egg sandos ;)
