Whether it’s ticking off the bucket list with a hike to Australia’s highest peak, learning new skills at Thredbo Mountain Bike Park or scoring downhill thrills on the new Alpine Coaster, discover your sense of adventure in the mountains this summer.

Kicking off on November 16 and running through to April 27, Thredbo Resort’s 2024/25 summer season of adventures is shaping up to be the biggest and best one yet.

Guests can now book their summer escape with lift passes, lessons, rentals, guided adventures and more becoming available to purchase from today. This summer, Thredbo Resort invites guests to book early and save big with up to 30% off adult passes and an incredible 50% discount for kids.

Thredbo General Manager, Stuart Diver said he thinks summer in the mountains will be popular this year.

“Whether it’s solo travel, wellness travel or getting the kids off screens and into the outdoors, a mountain getaway speaks to many current travel trends we’re seeing. We know lots of Australians are choosing to travel domestically this year and are more inclined to get out there and explore their own backyard.”

“In line with the ever-growing demand for outdoor adventures such as hiking and mountain biking, we work hard to make our summer offering bigger and better every year. With new MTB trails being built, new guided hiking adventures launching, the continual development of Alpine Australia’s biggest events calendar and of course, our new Alpine Coaster, this year is no exception. We can’t wait to welcome our guests back for more adventures from November 16,” said Stuart Diver.

Explore Australia’s Highest Mountains With Thredbo Hikes

With a brand-new multi-day adventure for hiking enthusiasts, the picture-perfect Alpine Lakes Hike for keen photographers, the Aries Tor Hike for budding ecologists, the challenging Mt Townsend Hike for active adventurers or a unique nighttime hike for astrology lovers, Thredbo’s wide range of guided and self-guided hikes offer something for everyone.

For the first time ever, Thredbo will host a series of new multi-day guided hiking adventures this summer. As the region’s only tourism operator currently offering an all-inclusive guided hike along the NSW Government’s newly built Snowy Mountains walking track, Thredbo’s all-new Snowies Alpine Walk Experience will showcase untouched wilderness and pristine natural wonders from Thredbo to Bullocks Flat. Guests can choose from a 44-kilometre 3-night experience or a 24-kilometre 2-night experience including accommodation at the Thredbo Alpine Hotel, daily guided hikes, Land Rover Defender transport, chairlift access and meals.

Conveniently located at the base of Mt Kosciuszko, Thredbo offers the ultimate base camp location for adventurers looking to take on the new Snowies Alpine Walk independently. The NSW Government’s new walking tracks build upon Thredbo’s existing trails which are accessible via the Kosciuszko Chairlift.

From stargazing underneath the Milky Way to watching the full moon rise over the mountains, Thredbo’s evening hikes have become incredibly popular in recent years. In response to the strong demand, Thredbo Hikes will continue to offer a wide range of guided unique nighttime hikes this summer including Aries Tor At Sunset Hikes, Mt Kosciuszko At Sunset Hikes, New Moon Hikes and Full Moon Hikes.

Most alpine hiking trails start from the top of the resort which can be accessed via the Kosciuszko Chairlift with a scenic lift pass. Hiking Season Passes, Scenic Lift Passes and Guided Hikes are available to book now at thredbo.com.au.
