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.

Perisher is fantastic for all ages and groups, but especially wonderful for families with young children and toddlers. There are plenty of safe areas where you can pull over and let the kids enjoy the snow, build snowmen, and play without being near the crowds. It made the whole experience stress-free and so much fun. A perfect family snow holiday!

Absolutely an amazing place. I am from Canada and was so happy to see white snow and beautiful blue sky on top of a snowy mountain 🏔️ in Australia. Wonderful experience and want to go back. Be prepared for warm spring like skiing and snowboarding with icy bits in morning and evening and heavy snow in mid day heat. Love every minute of it!!!

Perisher has it's PROS and CONS. My trip was medium, but EXPENSIVE, so if your unprepared to hand over your wallet. DO NOT COME. CONS : The food is ridiculously OVERPRICED, The parking SECTION is HELLFIRE if you arrive 5 or more mins late. Rough and hard track if your lifting skis. Bathrooms are well-maintained, but fewer stalls, leads to a HUGE QUEUE. Dining tables, are pre-occupied, due to the crowd. PROS : Staff members are very exclusive and friendly, especially the lifts. Plenty of stores to purchase from. Hotel is located next to ski resort, but arguably expensive due to location. OVERALL : Amazing experience, considering the climate and season was snowy, and longer lasting this year. Just wouldn't give a 5 star remembering how costly this trip was. Spent over 5000.

Perisher Valley is absolutely magical – the snowfall was incredible and the kids had an amazing time playing in the snow. It’s a winter wonderland and truly a beautiful spot for a snow holiday. However, I would not recommend visiting during the peak school holiday season. The traffic was completely out of control. By 8:30 AM, the resort parking was full and thousands of cars were being turned back, with no prior updates or warnings. We saw the same chaos at Thredbo as well. We ended up losing our bookings – and a lot of money – due to this poor management. There’s a serious lack of infrastructure and communication to handle peak crowds. It’s clear the area hasn’t been upgraded to support the number of visitors it receives during holidays. Go for the snow and scenery – it’s worth it – but avoid the peak season unless you’re prepared for a logistical nightmare.

It’s a lovely place for both beginners and seasoned skiers. There’s a dedicated child-friendly zone, making it perfect for families. The snow-covered slopes were well maintained, and there are plenty of snow play areas to enjoy beyond skiing. The resort is well-equipped with cozy cafés and restaurants nearby, so you can relax and warm up between runs. A fantastic alpine experience all around!

We had a fantastic family trip to the Perisher valley mountain! The kids loved tobogganing down gentle slopes and building snowmen. There were easy trails perfect for beginner skiers, and we even had a short ski lesson together. The snow play area was safe and well managed, with lots of space to run around. We enjoyed hot chocolate in the warm café while watching the snow fall. The views were stunning, and everything was well organised for families. It was a great place to make winter memories, and we can’t wait to come back next year for more snow fun! Of all, kids had a great time and are keen to do more skiing.

Regardless of snowfall. Do not come in June or September. Great resort, such a shame poor management destroyed an EPIC season that could have lasted over 3 months. Fix the Skitube train please. Open the resort when it snows please. Understand its a business. Aussies take a punt every year & when we finally get a good season & you close the good bits.

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.

Thredbo is a beautiful and magical place, especially after a heavy snowfall – it really feels like a winter wonderland! My son absolutely loved the Alpine Coaster, which was definitely a highlight of our trip. We tried to book three rides but unfortunately, it was all sold out, and there was only one ride option available – so make sure to book in advance. The ski area itself is pretty good. We wanted to book a ski lesson at Friday Flat and got there around 12:35 PM for a 1:00 PM session, but were turned away because they require at least 30 minutes of prep time before the lesson starts. Something to keep in mind – get there early! One thing to note is that Thredbo doesn’t have a lot of dedicated areas for snow play with kids. Most of the snow play is either by the roadside or scattered around the ski resort, and unfortunately, tobogganing isn’t allowed. On top of that, the Merritts Gondola was shut due to high winds during our visit. While the snow and scenery were absolutely incredible, the infrastructure just doesn’t seem to cope well during the peak school holiday season. Overall, a great experience but definitely one where planning ahead makes a big difference.

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.

Thredbo is a fantastic destination for a family getaway. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of life — whether you’re here for skiing in winter, hiking in summer, or simply enjoying the village charm. There’s something for everyone, from scenic chairlift rides to kid-friendly activities, great dining, and stunning views. The mix of fresh mountain air, friendly locals, and well-kept facilities makes it easy to relax and truly enjoy your time together. Highly recommended for families looking to make special memories.

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!

Charlotte Pass is a hidden gem in the Snowy Mountains! Even during peak season, it’s peaceful, car-free, and uncrowded—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The views are absolutely stunning, and the ski runs are ideal for families or anyone wanting a break from the busy resorts. Whether it’s skiing in winter or hiking in summer, the natural beauty here is unmatched. Loved the alpine charm, friendly staff, and easy access via Skitube. Highly recommend for a quiet and scenic mountain escape!

Didn’t imagine Charlotte Pass would be so beautiful in October. We absolutely enjoyed our trekking there. View from the lookout is absolutely gorgeous. Much better than ski season.

Late October Road access no chains needed. Cloud was low, which reduced the view. Parking and toilets. Well posted tracks Suggest being well prepared in the variable weather conditions

Multiple walks and close to the ski resort. You can access the Main Range walk to Mt Kosciuszko from here and it saves you the chairlift fee from Thredbo. Parking is not easy though so be prepared to get there super early and/or have to walk 500m or more from parking to Pass.

The main range track and the broadwalk tracks are amazing! I came by in autumn and stopped short of the river (due to my embarrassing level of fitness) but it was a good hike nonetheless. Great views of the cistas, its cool and calm and I was lucky to go on a sunny day.

This place is absolutely awesome and amazing. Blessed to see this incredible place. When you explore this in a right time you will feel like heaven on the earth. Absolutely unbelievable views

Spectacular! 1835 meters above the sea level. Excellent place for hiking or picnic in summer. Cool to cold weather during February. Well managed tracks with signage. Close to the Charlotte Pass village.

Found the staff to be rude and unhelpful. Waited 40 minutes for a board repair the day after we picked it up, then had to go back again to have the bindings fit correctly because that wasn’t done correctly at the time of repair. Wouldn’t recommend as it wasn’t a pleasant or easy experience.

The workshop guys in this shop are fantastic and really know their craft. After another shop botched adjusting my skis to my new boots to the point that they were unusable, these guys did some MacGyvering and had me on the snow in 5 minutes.

brother delivered my Apple Watch—left in a pocket—all the way back to Sydney within 5 days. This is a true place of legends

Absolutely Fantastic, helped out after no Ski gear at Perisher, would use Smiggins first up now. Really helpful staff.

Great store, with everything you need for a day on the mountain. Staff are very knowledgeable and friendly.

What a team today, hey? The worst one was the “lady”, she had no customer service skills

Friendly, knowledge, and helpful staff. The go to place for my trips to the snowy mountains.

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.
