I spent a June long weekend at Thredbo Alpine Resort and came away super impressed — it really lives up to its reputation as one of Australia’s best all-round ski destinations.
Thredbo offers terrain for everyone. Beginners have their own safe space at Friday Flat, with gentle slopes and easy lifts to practice without stress. Intermediates have loads to explore, and if you’re more advanced there are steep runs, long descents (the Supertrail is one of Australia’s longest) and varied terrain including terrain parks of all difficulties.
The village is charming and very walkable. There are plenty of accommodation options — from rustic lodges and self-contained apartments to premium hotels — many with excellent proximity to lifts and village amenities. Dining is strong too.
On-mountain cafés like Merritts Mountain House bring views and flavour; for après you’ve got ski-in options like Kareela Hutte, hearty pubs, and bars in the Village.
Things to watch: in peak times, lift queues can add up, and prices (accommodation, food, lift passes) tend to run high. Also, booking ahead (especially for winter and school holidays) is important.
All up, Thredbo strikes a great balance — superb snow terrain, lively village atmosphere, and plenty of options for both families and expert riders. Definitely worth the trip if you want more than just slopes.
