filter_dramaUnderstandThredbo is is probably the closest thing Australia has to an alpine village. It lies just on the snowline, and has a variety of accommodation, ski lodges, restaurants, and even a heated swimming pool. Accommodation is just a short walk or shuttle bus ride to the ski lifts in the winter, and the town is still alive during the summer months, with bushwalks, mountain biking, and even some snowplay well into summer. By comparison Perisher Valley is a large ski resort, with more lifts and more skiing area during winter. However it is not a summer destination, and all you will see there is a large carpark. There is some accommodation there also, but little alpine village atmosphere.

By car
Thredbo is about 2.5 hours drive from Canberra, and 1 hour from Cooma, and around 6 hours drive from [wiki=1fc91e86962825bb745de53d1657b3e4]Sydney[/wiki]. The drive from [wiki=7c885b9c7c703a77befcabeea54944d5]Melbourne[/wiki] is also around 6 hours via the Alpine Way. A nice drive during summer, but can be subject to snow and ice during winter. Check road conditions.
National park entry fees apply to vehicles and are payable at entrance stations on roads into the park and other locations. There is also a fee for bus passengers. The fee for a car in winter is $27 per 24 hours. In summer it is $16 per vehicle per day. Drive-through (non-stop) passes for the Alpine Way are free.
Chains must be carried during winter, and you must know how to fit them. If chains are required, signs will be placed in the appropriate chain fitting bays, however quite often chains are not required. -
By bus
During the ski season many bus companies offer ad-hoc trips to the snow. Transborder Express offers year-round service once daily between Canberra and Thredbo.

filter_dramaGet aroundA free shuttle buses run between Friday Flat, the carparks, and the Village during winter. Parking can be difficult in the village, even during the busier periods in summer. Roads run around the village however are narrow and get snowed in at times so be causous of oncoming traffic.

Winter

The resort has the highest Australian lift and Restaurant. It caters for all levels from Friday Flats for beginners, Central Spur for intermediates and Crankenback for experts. there is usually snow from June to October with the best snow of around 2 metres during August. There are 15 Lifts in operation. -
Summer
Climb Mount Kosciuszko Australia's highest mountain. Take the year-round chairlift (adult $25 return, $19.50 one way; child $12.50 return, $11 one way) up to Crackenback. From there it is a gradual 6.5 km walk with a gradual incline, mostly on metal walkways, to the 2,228m summit of Mt Kosciuszko. There are few continents where the highest peak is so accessible, and a person of moderate fitness can do the return walk easily in a day. Keen hikers can continue to Mt Townsend, the second highest peak, but there is no formed track and it is not such an easy climb so you need to be confident of your hiking and navigation skills. Mt Kosciuszko can also be climbed from [wiki=0286fb88e1ec3756452e9954091bbd65]Charlotte Pass[/wiki], where you can park your car, and avoid the lift fees.
