Thredbo Alpine Village in Winter
Thredbo Village is nestled in the amazing Kosciuszko National Park, with activities, events, shopping and restaurants to complete any holiday. The atmosphere is truly unique and the pace is entirely up to you. Soak up the surrounds on a romantic getaway, feel the rush as you hammer the hill, or have some holiday fun with the whole family. Whatever the season, whatever your passion, take the adventure and experience Thredbo.
As a ski resort in winter Thredbo is recognised as the premier ski area in Australia. Thredbo’s elevation and location make it perfect for plenty of natural snow. Nevertheless, Thredbo also offers Australia’s most extensive snow making facilities and top to bottom skiing is almost guaranteed.
By the height of summer backpacks and walking boots are the norm, with Thredbo and the Main Range bustling with explorers and bursting with colour. Along comes Autumn, the landscape takes on a whole new hue and then, with a crisp bite in the air we are ready for winter all over again. It is truly a resort for all seasons!
Thredbo is a small village but well equipped with city services including ATM’s, a medical Centre, post office, service station, supermarket, news agency, pharmacy, physiotherapist, masseurs, video hire, photographers, internet services and of course fashion boutiques.
The great part about the mountains is you set your own pace, you can stay as busy as you like with stacks of activities on offer, or just kick back, go for quiet walks and enjoy the views.
Here at PURE we hope you will have the best possible stay in our chalet and also take home with you a fantastic and memorable experience of Thredbo Village and the surrounding Snowy Mountains. That is why we have listed some of our favourite things to do all year round so you will never be short of ideas during your visit. Couldn't quite fit it all in..? Plan your next trip around one of the many festivals or off season activities. There is plenty to see and do in our region and there is always something new to discover at every time of year.

Thredbo in Summer
Thredbo is the ultimate year round resort!
For example
The Southern Hemisphere’s first-ever year-round Alpine Coaster is now open!
At 1.5km in length, from thrill-seekers to leisure cruisers, passengers will be able to control their speed of up to 40km/h as they travel along a mix of uphill and downhill tracks featuring a tunnel, bridges and circles that traverse the alpine environment.
The Kosciuszko Express Chairlift open 365 days a year is 1.8km long and rises 560 vertical metres. The ride takes around 15 minutes each way and offers spectacular valley views as you are lifted to the closest access point to Mt Kosciuszko.
Climbing and Abseiling. The K7 Kosciuszko Adventures team can ensure all grades are completely catered for. Check them out here www.k7adventures.com/
Fishing. While you can fish year-round, one of the most exciting times to cast a line in the Snowys is during the annual Snowy Mountains Trout Festival. Typically held in November http://www.visitnsw.com/destinations/snowy-mountains/fishing
