Thredbo is the ultimate resort to keep you high and active all year long. Set smack bang in the Snowy Mountains, Thredbo is renowned for its thrilling snow riding action from the steep and deep to gentle first time slides. When the temperatures rise the activity continues. You can whack on a pack and explore the many alpine trails, blast downhill on a mountain bike, or just kick back and soak up the sounds and sights. There's something for everyone on this magic mountain!

Thredbo Mountain
Thredbo has terrain to suit all standards of skiers and boarders. Ranging from gentle first timer runs on a purpose built beginner's area, to long wide Supertrails, intermediate blue runs and some of the most advanced black diamond terrain in the country.

Thredbo is open 365 days a year and is a gorgeous alpine playground located half way between Sydney and Melbourne. You can fly, drive or arrive by coach with regular links from Sydney, Canberra and other locations.

Getting There

By Car
Your ticket to the divine alpine is just 6 hours drive from both Sydney and Melbourne. If you're cruising to the mountains from Sydney, once you're on the Eastern Distributor there are only a few sets of traffic lights to Thredbo. From Melbourne, the fully sealed Kosciuszko Alpine Way is your scenic window as you wind through the spectacular Kosciuszko National Park.

The roads are clear for most of the year, but when the big snowfalls hit, chains may be required for 2 wheel drives. Chains can be hired in Jindabyne and Khancoban. When hiring they will need to know your tyre size and be sure to ask them about any fitting tips. A tip from us is to practice fitting your chains and to pack an old blanket to use when fitting them.

The National Parks and Wildlife Service collect park use fees upon entry to the park. You can purchase your pass from the Entrance Station 13km before you get to Thredbo, the Snowy Region Visitors Centre in Jindabyne, the National Parks Visitors Centre in Khancoban, or the Thredbo Newsagency.
