Map & Driving Instructions

Thredbo is located in the magnificent High Country of Australia and is around 5-6 hours drive from Sydney and 6-7 hours from Melbourne.

The drive from Sydney is mostly on a dual carriage system with some great stopover attractions along the way. Once you arrive in Canberra, take the Monaro Highway through to Jindabyne. This section of the trip is approximatly 2.5 hours depending on traffic and weather conditions. About 3km from Jindabyne take a left hand turn into Alpine Way and commence the climb to Thredbo Village. This is approximately 33 km. On the approach to Thredbo you will come across a right hand turn (Friday Drive) directing you into Thredbo Village. Please ignore this turn off and continue another 1.5km and you will see a long line of carparks on the right hand side of the road. Continue until you reach the last 8 of these which are owned by Winterhaus Lodge.

All cars (4WD exempt) must carry chains in winter and fines are imposed by the NSW Roads and Maritime Service should you not have them in a time of need. They can be hired from the BP Service Station in Jindabyne or the Thredbo Service Station. Upon entering the National Park all cars are subject to a toll booth charge.
