Thredbo

Thredbo Alpine Resort is located in the heart of Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales, and is renowned for offering Australia&rsquo;s longest ski runs and most vertical terrain. With 480 hectares of skiable terrain, 53 trails, and 16 lifts&mdash;including gondolas, high-speed quads, and surface lifts&mdash;Thredbo delivers a dynamic alpine experience for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. The resort receives an average of 210 cm of snowfall annually, supported by extensive snowmaking to ensure reliable coverage throughout the season. The trail breakdown includes 30% beginner, 34% intermediate, and 36% advanced terrain, making it a well-balanced destination for families, casual cruisers, and thrill-seekers alike. The longest run, Supertrail, stretches 5.9 km from summit to base, offering a scenic descent through varied terrain. Family-friendly amenities include dedicated learning zones, childcare services, and snow play areas, while terrain parks and guided tours cater to more adventurous riders. Visitors choose Thredbo for its walkable alpine village, vibrant apr&egrave;s-ski scene, and year-round appeal. Whether you're carving fresh corduroy, exploring the backcountry, or enjoying a mountaintop meal with views of Mount Kosciuszko, Thredbo combines natural beauty with modern convenience in a way that few resorts in the Southern Hemisphere can match.

Thredbo is accessible by car from major cities like Sydney (6 hours), Melbourne (6 hours), and Canberra (2.5 hours). The drive winds through scenic alpine roads, with the final approach via Alpine Way. Visitors entering Kosciuszko National Park must purchase a vehicle pass, which can be obtained at park entry gates. For those flying, the closest airport is Snowy Mountains Airport in Cooma, offering seasonal flights and shuttle connections. Canberra Airport is another option, with broader flight availability and transfer services to the resort.
Once in Thredbo, getting around is easy. The resort offers a free winter shuttle service that runs throughout the village from early morning until late evening, including extended hours on weekends. Overnight parking is available in designated lots, and many accommodations offer on-site parking. The Merritts Gondola&mdash;the only alpine gondola in Australia&mdash;provides fast access from the village to the Cruiser Area, making ski-in/ski-out access seamless for guests staying near the base.

Thredbo&rsquo;s lodging options are centered around its alpine village, offering everything from cozy chalets and self-contained apartments to boutique lodges and club-style accommodations. Families can choose multi-room units with kitchen facilities, while couples enjoy romantic retreats with fireplaces and mountain views. Group travelers benefit from spacious lodges and ski clubs with communal amenities. For those seeking luxury, there are upscale properties with spa services, fine dining, and direct access to lifts. The village layout ensures that dining, shopping, and skiing are all within walking distance.

Thredbo&rsquo;s terrain is anchored by the Crackenback Range and features a vertical drop of 672 meters&mdash;the largest in Australia. The mountain is divided into several zones, each offering distinct terrain and snow conditions. The Kosciuszko Express lift takes skiers to the summit, where panoramic views and long descents await.
Beginners will find comfort in the Friday Flat area, a wide-open learning zone with gentle slopes and surface lifts. It&rsquo;s home to the resort&rsquo;s ski school and kids&rsquo; programs, making it ideal for families and first-timers. The area is groomed daily and offers easy access to the village.
Intermediate skiers can explore the Cruiser Area, accessible via the Merritts Gondola. Trails like &ldquo;Walkabout&rdquo; and &ldquo;High Noon&rdquo; offer rolling terrain, consistent pitch, and scenic tree-lined runs. This zone is perfect for building confidence and enjoying longer laps.
Advanced skiers gravitate toward the Supertrail and Funnel Web runs. Supertrail is the longest run in the country, combining speed, flow, and elevation. Funnel Web offers steeper pitches and natural features, making it a favorite for carving and short bursts of intensity.
Freestyle riders have five terrain parks to choose from, ranging from beginner zones to advanced setups with rails, boxes, and medium-sized kickers. The Antons Park is the most technical, while the Cruiser Park is ideal for progression. Parks are maintained daily and host seasonal events.
Natural features like open bowls, snow gum glades, and ridgelines add character to Thredbo&rsquo;s landscape. The Golf Course Bowl is a popular off-piste area for powder days, and Karels T-Bar provides access to Australia&rsquo;s highest lifted point. Whether you&rsquo;re chasing views or vertical, Thredbo&rsquo;s terrain delivers variety and challenge in equal measure.

Start your morning with a lap down &ldquo;Supertrail&rdquo; before the crowds arrive. It&rsquo;s groomed early and offers a full 5.9 km descent from summit to base&mdash;perfect for warming up and soaking in the alpine views.
On powder days, head straight to the Golf Course Bowl. It&rsquo;s tucked behind the main ridge and holds snow longer thanks to its sheltered aspect. The entry is steep but manageable, and the glades below offer playful lines.
Midweek visits&mdash;especially on Wednesdays&mdash;are ideal for avoiding lift lines. You&rsquo;ll get more runs in and have first dibs on fresh corduroy. The Merritts Gondola is especially quiet before 10 a.m., making it a great time to lap the Cruiser Area.
Families should take advantage of the &ldquo;Snow Play Park&rdquo; near Friday Flat. It&rsquo;s a safe, interactive zone with mini jumps, tubing lanes, and soft terrain features. The adjacent caf&eacute; makes it easy to take breaks without leaving the action.
For a scenic run with minimal traffic, try &ldquo;High Noon&rdquo; in the late afternoon. The trail faces west, catching golden light and offering sweeping views of the valley. It&rsquo;s a mellow descent with just enough pitch to keep things interesting.
Apr&egrave;s-ski kicks off at The Local Pub, where live music and mountain fare draw skiers from all over the resort. For something quieter, Cascades Restaurant offers fireside dining with a curated wine list and alpine-inspired dishes.
Freestyle riders should hit Antons Park between noon and 2 p.m. when the sun softens the landings and visibility is best. The park&rsquo;s layout encourages flow, and the jump line is spaced for smooth transitions.
Looking for solitude? Take the Karels T-Bar to the summit and hike a few minutes to the Kosciuszko Lookout. It&rsquo;s the highest lifted point in Australia and offers unobstructed views of the Main Range&mdash;especially stunning at sunrise or sunset.
If you&rsquo;re up for a challenge, book a guided backcountry tour. The resort offers half-day and full-day options that explore terrain beyond the lifts, including snowshoe routes and alpine bowls. It&rsquo;s a great way to experience Thredbo&rsquo;s wild side.
Before you leave, stop by the Thredbo Retail Store for a keepsake. Their mountain-branded gear is high quality, and the limited-edition beanies and mugs make perfect souvenirs. Plus, staff often share insider tips on where to ski next.
