Jindabyne, just 35 minutes away, serves as the gateway town with additional accommodation and services. Thredbo's setting at the base of Australia's highest mountain creates a dramatic alpine landscape, with the village situated along the Thredbo River surrounded by snow gum forests and rocky outcrops. This integration with the natural environment gives Thredbo a distinctive character unlike any other Australian snow destination.
