At the base of Mt Crackenback, within the boundaries of Mt Kosciuszko National Park, Thredbo is a re-creation of a European Alpine Village with a magical atmosphere. As Australia's premier snow sports resort, it has been recognised by the tourism industry as the Resort of the Decade.
Thredbo has places to stay, places to play and places to pray, all tucked up in the 1000 hectares that make up the cosy resort. Slope-side is activity central all year round, and the other side of the mountain is full of facilities, modern services and has a great village atmosphere.
A highlight of Thredbo is that it is full of seasons, each with its own amazing distinct features. The chilly winter winds bring snowfalls that blanket the mountain and soon the slopes are buzzing with snow lovers. When spring arrives, the snow thaws to reveal lush green trails ready for hikers and bikers and the sleepy flora and fauna slowly start to awaken. By the height of summer, backpacks and walking boots are the norm with Thredbo and the Main Range bustling with explorers and bursting with colour. Along comes autumn and the landscape takes on a whole new hue with a crisp bite in the air, then we are ready for winter all over again. It is truly a resort for all seasons. International events are held here each winter with an FIS approved, downhill racecourse. Thredbo was host to the World Cup Ski Races in 1989.
Thredbo plays host to Australia's longest ski run - the great Funnel Web, which is more than 3km long. The great part about the mountains is you set your own pace. You can stay as busy as you like with the variety of activities on offer or just kick back, do very little and enjoy the views. Leisure, pleasure, relax or hit the tracks - you will love Thredbo.
Open 365 days of the year offering both winter and summer fun.
