Summer in Thredbo

We're guessing that the first thing you think about when you hear someone mention Thredbo is snow. But it's not just for winter frivolity, there's so much more to experience all year round, especially in Summer!

Time to trek

When the snow melts dozens of bushwalking and hiking trails emerge.

Journey to the summit of Mount Kosciuszko, Australia's highest peak, for a real sense of achievement. Crystal clear streams, rock formations, twisted gum trees, alpine tundra, and distant valley peaks make it a must. Get a head start up Crackenback on the chairlift to the start of the 6.5km track to the summit. A few clicks further will take you to the country's second-highest peak, the arguably more beautiful Mount Townsend, crowned in rocky tors.

As you'd expect of NSW's largest National Park, there are plenty more walks here to tempt you - discover them here.

Prefer two wheels?

With its breathtaking scenery and phenomenal track construction, Thredbo is a truly world-class location for Mountain Biking.

Thredbo Mountain Bike Park (All Abilities) -  There are heaps of linked cross country trails, a pump track and plenty of skill parks for technical riders. As with skiing, you'll want to be approaching intermediate level to get the most out of the steep descents on offer, though there are runs for riders of all abilities and it's worth mentioning that Thredbo also has bike hire and MTB clinics to help beginners get started.

Mill Creek and Tyrolean trails (Easy/Intermediate) - Nearby Jindabyne has some high quality trails of its own that are worth checking out. You'll mostly find cross country-style trails here, and it should be a bit less taxing on beginners than the slaloming sidewinders of the nearby mountain resort, but for more hardened riders, it'll be little more than a warm-up for the main event. 

Get your gear ready and find out everything you need to know here.

Get to the top

Thredbo makes it easy for everyone to appreciate the vastness of the mountains and take in the view, with 3 lifts, including a European-style Gondola, to get you to the top. Get your camera ready because you'll want to capture this moment. Plan your trip to the summit here.

Like it fast?

A sure way to give the thrill of speed is by jumping on a sled and making your way down the mountain with a ride on the Alpine Bobsled. The whole family can be involved too with solo rides allowed for ages 9+ and for the little ones, they can pair up with an adult and squeal their way down the track.

Something a little different

Everyone loves a game of frisbee right? Add the element of 18 holes and you've got Disc Golf. Another family friendly activity to enjoy as you get to know your new favourite summer destination.

All that and plenty more
