The scenery was absolutely stunning! We did a partial snow hike, starting at 11:30 and reaching Eagle’s Nest Point by 3:30, catching the last chair lift back just before 3:45. It was an awesome hike and a great experience overall! If you’re planning to go snow hiking, make sure to wear proper clothing and snow shoes. We had all the gear, which made the hike much easier and more enjoyable — a well-packed and thoroughly fun adventure!
An incredible experience! I took the chairlift and spent about 2.5 hours walking from the Thredbo Chairlift Top Station to the summit of Mt Kosciuszko. The trail is mostly flat and easy, with amazing views along the way. You'll pass the highest restaurant and even the highest "dunny" in Australia—how cool is that? Reaching the highest point on the continent felt truly rewarding. Just make sure to plan your time well and check the chairlift timetable—we almost missed it, which would have added another 2 hours walking back down. Overall, a memorable and scenic adventure that’s worth every step!
Absolutely loved being able to walk to the highest mountain in Australia. Locals advised us to walk from Charlotte Pass. Easy to park as we arrived early morning. Toilet at car park. 18.6km return walk. Charlotte Pass is 1755m above sea level Mt Kosciuszko 2228m. The track is well maintained, sign posted and slowly takes you up to the mountain on a wide track. Beautiful flowers, scenery and the Snowy River on the way. We stopped at Seamans Hut for a bite to eat & a chat with two knowledgeable Rangers. Toilet near hut. Another toilet (the highest in Australia) is at Rawsons Pass, just before the last 1.7km to the top. This is the steepest part of the walk, but still ok. Amazing to reach the summit and to be on top off Australia. Cairn and information board there. Ensure you check the weather before going, be prepared with a coat incase conditions change. Wear sunscreen and good walking shoes. We saw all ages walking. The track became busier when we reached Rawson Pass with the people that had caught the chairlift.
Kozzy? Bloody completed it mate! In a white out too! Didn’t see the sights but experienced all the mountain had on a windy snowy day!!
The highest mountain in Australia with variety of things to see like caves, thermal pools, ski etc..
Epic hike to do in November when there is still little snow.
Route to the peak: comfortable and light Overall, it’s a good comfortable walk on a prepared trail. Don’t take tracking poles with you if you don’t want to carry them in hands the whole way (on other routes they will be more in use). There are one stop with restrooms (btw the highest one in Australia:)) on the route. The restaurant (near the lift station) works until 3pm. They say it takes 4-6h, but it really depends on weather and your physical conditions. For example, we did round-trip in Summer less than 3h.
Easy walk to the summit. Great look outs and track. Very popular. Veiws are pretty good. No loos or bins. The operator needs to have the chair lift on a separate ticket, it’s very unclear on line.

The greatest staff i’ve ever experienced at a ski resort. The staff working the lifts were helping us with our skis, the alpine coaster staff were fun and exciting, seemed like they really enjoy their job. They were helping us to take photos of our family, and made us feel like valuable guests. on the food side of things, the local pub and bistro has a spectacular selection of beer and food (they even have pokies if you’re keen for a slap) and the views from the deck are marvelous. the avalanche Cafe is another great option if you are looking from anything from a meat pie or a coffee, to a caramel slice or some lollies. the staff there is also very great, in particular Nico. All in all, Thredbo is a great option for a weekend family trip.
The alpine coaster is the only attraction that feels somewhat worth the money. Unfortunately, tobogganing isn’t allowed, which would’ve been a great family activity. If you’re looking for a better experience, head to Perisher Valley instead — there’s more snow, and you can enjoy snowboarding, skiing, tobogganing, and quality time with the whole family.
It was still snowing when I visited in October, which made the trip even more special. The town has a local, homey feel with plenty of restaurants and a cosy pub, and the quieter atmosphere was perfect. Snowboarding was so much fun, and Riccardo, the instructor, was great and really easy to get along with. The free shuttle bus runs regularly to take you around town, and when we left late one evening, a driver kindly radioed another shuttle on our route to pick us up. The staff were super friendly and the service was excellent.
We stayed for 2 days We went up the mountain on the Suger gums chair lift. It was bitting cold due to the wind. Our accommodation was good. We had dinner in the pub. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Totally recommend a stay. It was very quiet when we were there as it was between winter and summer seasons.
Worst experience I ever had in this resort. During peak season timings they expect us to be before 8am in mornings to have best possible coverage for 12-3pm pass session. If you really want us to be early, make sure to “REMOVE” passes saying 12pm-3pm on website, and also never release tickets and overbook.
Congratulations to the Thredbo team for the amazing service. A big thank you to the gondola staff who kindly helped me search for my snowboard today 31/08, and especially to Bratt, who came with his skis and managed to find/rescue it. Outstanding service and such a helpful team, you truly made my day!
Thredbo Alpine Village offered a fantastic snowy adventure for my toddler, who loved playing in the snow and riding the gondola. While the tobogganing was not allowed, the overall family-friendly atmosphere and variety of activities made it a memorable short getaway.
Went to Friday Flat which is a ski resort just before Thredbo main resort and offers some good beginner terrain.. My kid took ski lessons there by really friendly instructors and kept a watch out for him falling over and gave him extra instructions and support. As a result my kid learnt how to ski in just 1 lesson.. pretty happy! Snow was great but very crowded!

Nev and his super friendly caring team run a great operation with beautiful well looked after and cared for horses. Had a nice 2 hour ride through the property on Vortex. She looked after all 95kg off me well. 😄. Highly recommend. Thanks guys.
So glad we did this! These guys are amazing, love their horses and enjoy sharing it with people. The area and scenery were beautiful. I rode on Bones, who was a gentle brown brumby. The guides were so knowledgeable about the area and horses. Cannot recommend this enough.
What a wonderful experience! Booked this as a New Year’s Eve (day time) treat for the family. The guides were amazing with the kids and you can tell they genuinely love what they do and take amazing care of the Horses. Would highly recommend
Thanks TVHR! We were well looked after on a 2 hour ride up the mountain. Nev had a multitude of local knowledge pointing out landmarks and made sure we were safe and enjoying our ride. Nev and Freyja's love and care for the horses shone through and they were keen to share this with us. We rode Xena and Indy, both amazing steeds. We would love to come back to do the river ride one day.
We had a fantastic experience riding the well-behaved horses. The ride was not only enjoyable but also exceptionally well organized. The staff who manage the activities clearly have a deep love for their horses and treat them with great care and respect. This commitment to the animals made our experience even more enjoyable.
Thank you to the TVHR team for an unforgettable morning exploring the stunning snowy mountains on the beautiful brumby “Gunner”. To Nev and Issie, thanks for a wonderful ride, ticked all the boxes. I absolutely loved it and I look forward to visiting again! I highly recommend TVHR team!
What a DREAM COME TRUE!!!!!!! Honestly the best day EVER! Linda was super easy to communicate with, very lovely lady! Linda, Nev & Freir were outstanding, all their knowledge, support and kindness could not have been faulted. They have put in so much hard work to ensure the rides are safe, fun and super enjoyable. The horses had an amazing connection with their owners and you can see how well they are looked after. Along the ride, we were provided with abit of history of the area as well as some interesting information about the horses that were selected for us. The horses were fantastic, so kind, humorous and just beautiful souled. We enjoyed every second of it and will be back again! Truly the best day ever!!!!!! <3
What a wonderful experience! The staff were so friendly and helpful with clear instructions. The horses were so beautifully natured. The guides took our group off the beaten track, and with such gorgeous surrounding countryside, it is hard not to fall in love. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Absolutely amazing experience with Sandra. She really helped my body release some long held tension. She checked with me before going in strong and together we went deep. Super fantastic massage, and easy recovery. I expected to be sore but nothing!! Highly recommend!
Very bad! Stay away. And if you leave a negative review, they will try to discredit you by suggesting questionable motives
I left floating on air and completely blissed out after a 2 hour facial and massage with Sandra. This truly was once of the best treatments I've ever had and would come back in a heartbeat. Sandra is so lovely, and professional and her space is ultra clean and inviting. Don't hesitate to book if you're in the area :) Thank you Sandra!
Sandra is an expert at her craft - this was the best massage I’ve ever had :) I also loved the feel of the place and the little extra touches that made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I can’t wait to come back!
I had booked a massage at Edelweiss and the day of, I fell sick. I called to advise her and to cancel the appointment, and all Sandra could do was lament about how her days scheduling had been thrown off by my cancellation. I just felt this was rude and unnecessary - I could easily have come and said nothing, but obviously this wasn’t the right thing to do as I do not want to pass it on to others. I did not ask to get sick, I called to advise her of the cancellation rather than just not show up, and Sandra still charges a cancellation fee (understandably) for the opportunity cost, so a little bit of understanding would have gone a long way.
Sandra was great! Her hands are magic. A great experience of massage, facial and exfoliation. Nice space and highly recommended if you want a cloud 9 experience. Feel on top of the world, thank you!
Went for the "Serenity now" package and it was absolutely lovely. Really what I needed after a stressful couple of days road trip. Sandra my beauty therapist was a delight. Friendly and chatty but knew when to keep the peace for the sake of relaxation. Would highly recommend.
One of the best massages I have ever had. Must visit for anyone in town. Sandra is simply amazing, so friendly & talented. I ll be back, thank you.

Shout out to Sarah for giving us the perfect no fuss experience. Totally underestimated this only just off season experience. It was exactly what we were after! 👍❤
Order steak med rare, maybe the worse steak I've had out, The steak was pale looking and cold. It was like I was cooking low heat. The whole meal was bad, the chef has no idea. Way too much money for a bad meal,
Watched the state of origin here, understaffed , good atmosphere. But the carpet was shocking- so sticky, I couldn’t even move my stool as it was stuck . Gross
I've been to the Schuss alot over the years but the Gay Ski vibe and atmosphere was the best I've ever seen in Thredbo. Well done all involved.
Felt like something out of the film "hot tub time machine"... even the clear coat from the alloy door frames was worn off from decades of use.
Appalling service. Obnoxious management. Been coming for years but won’t ever be back.
Great music and atmosphere
