Winter: Winter transforms Thredbo into Australia's premier alpine playground. Hit the slopes for skiing or snowboarding, join a guided backcountry tour, or ride the Southern Hemisphere's first Alpine Coaster through the snow. For incredible mountain views, take the Kosciuszko Express Chairlift to Australia's highest lifted point, then warm up with a yoga class or simply relax and take in the scenery from YHA Thredbo's cosy lounge.
From June to October, the village comes alive with snow sports, après events, live music and a packed calendar of winter festivals and activities, ensuring there's always something happening on and off the mountain.
Summer: When the snow melts, Thredbo transforms into an alpine adventure playground. Hike the iconic Mount Kosciuszko Summit Walk, explore the scenic Thredbo River Walk, or discover the many hiking and mountain biking trails throughout Kosciuszko National Park, with spectacular alpine views around every corner.
If you'd rather explore on two wheels, YHA Thredbo offers Trek bike rentals during the summer season, with convenient pick-up and drop-off at the hostel. Bikes are perfect for the valley floor and cross-country trails, and rentals include a helmet, lock and lights. Hire starts from $26 for a half day or $40 for a full day, and can be added to your reservation or booked at reception
No matter the season, Thredbo's breathtaking scenery is never far away, making it the perfect place to slow down and enjoy Australia's alpine wilderness. YHA is in the heart of Thredbo village - easy walk to pubs, cafe and restaurants.
