Snow Chains - What You Need To Know

See rates →Call 02 9526 2566

All 2WD vehicles will need to carry snow chains between the June long weekend and the October long weekend For two wheel drive vehicles, always fit chains to the driving wheels only.

  • It is compulsory for all 2 wheel drive cars (2WD) to carry chains on NSW Alpine National Park roads. 

When required, chains should be fitted as specified by the vehicle manufacturer. On four wheel drives, the chain location is usually determined by the vehicles power distribution. If your four wheel drive is front wheel drive, chains should be fitted to the front two wheels, whereas if it is rear wheel drive, chains should be fitted to the back two wheels.

At all alpine resorts, you can be fined for not carrying and fitting chains as directed

Chain fitting bays are level and make fitting easier. If you don’t use the chain fitting bay you may find yourself in a lot of trouble. 

Do not drive faster than 40km per hour once chains have been fitted.
