Australian Alps, Australia 🇦🇺
Thredbo holds Australia's longest vertical drop at 672 metres and sits at the foot of Mt Kosciuszko, the continent's highest peak at 2228 metres. A pedestrian alpine village tumbles down terraced slopes, home of the Australian World Cup ski team and the country's most credible attempt at a European feel.
Generally yes. From 1365 m at the base to 2037 m up top, the profile holds snow well across a normal winter (score 80/100).
Ski-in/ski-out depends on the address here: some hotels are on the snow, others need a short walk or shuttle. Pick a slopeside address if skiing from the door matters to you.
With 50 km of piste on 14 lifts, it is a mid-size area, easy to get to know over a long weekend. The terrain is balanced (12 green, 28 blue, 14 red, 12 black), which suits a mixed-level group skiing together.
Thredbo stands out for a genuinely iconic name, serious off-piste and freeride terrain and a racing and competition pedigree.
In the Southern Hemisphere the season runs roughly Jun 8 to Sep 30 (the local winter), with July and August the most reliable.
