Thredbo

While the snow season (lasting between July and early September) is relatively short, with good snow and a shining sun, the resort makes for excellent skiing or snowboarding and plenty of fun.

Things to See and Do

Besides the snow, Thredbo is a great place to visit during the summer months with its excellent scenic tracks for bushwalking and mountain-biking during the summer months.

The available activities include hiking, mountain-biking, canoeing, white-water rafting, abseiling and horse riding. These can be organised at the Thredbo Leisure Centre or Raw NRG in the Valley Terminal.

Several festivals and events are also held at Thredbo during the summer including the Blues Festival in January, the Thredbo World Music Festival in March and the Jazz Festival in April/May.
