About Thredbo
Thredbo is an iconic alpine village located within Kosciuszko National Park in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, approximately 500 kilometres south of Sydney and 200 kilometres south-west of Canberra. Built in the valley of the Thredbo River at a base elevation of 1,365 metres, the village has a permanent population of around 405 residents, though its accommodation capacity swells to over 4,000 beds during peak ski season. The locality falls within the Snowy Monaro Regional Council area and is accessible via the Alpine Way through Cooma, Berridale, and Jindabyne.
In winter, Thredbo's 14 ski lifts and 480 hectares of skiable terrain attract approximately 700,000 visitors annually, offering Australia's longest ski runs and access to the highest terrain in the country near the Kosciuszko High Peaks. Come summer, the village transforms into a hiking and adventure hub — the Kosciuszko Express chairlift provides access to the summit walk to Mount Kosciuszko, while mountain biking, rock climbing, abseiling, and the annual Thredbo Blues Festival draw visitors year-round. Year-round restaurants, cafes, ski hire and outdoor outfitters give the village a lively resort character despite its remote alpine setting.
Thredbo falls under postcode 2625 and is governed by the Snowy Monaro Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Eden-Monaro, while state elections fall under the Monaro electorate.
