Situated in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, Thredbo is Australia’s premier alpine destination, boasting the country’s highest vertical drop at 2,205 feet (672 meters). Established in 1957 by Czech ski instructor Tony Sponar, the resort brings a distinct European alpine village atmosphere to the Australian high country. Thredbo spans 1,186 acres (480 hectares) and provides an iconic Down Under skiing experience that draws visitors from all over the globe.
Thredbo’s terrain is serviced by 14 lifts, including the Kosciuszko Express Quad Chair, which takes skiers up to breathtaking views of Mount Kosciuszko, Australia’s highest peak. The mountain is famous for the Supertrail, which holds the title of Australia’s longest ski run at nearly 3.7 miles (5.9 kilometers). Advanced skiers can challenge themselves on steep pitches like High Noon and Crackenback, while beginners have access to the dedicated Friday Flat learning area.
