THREDBO lies between Sydney and Melbourne, and can be reached from both cities (by car) by first taking the Hume Highway.

THREDBO is around 5 hours drive from Sydney mostly on dual carriageway.  Join the Monaro Highway after just after Canberra if coming from Sydney.  Take the Alpine Way from Jindabyne through the Thredbo Valley to THREDBO.  The Alpine Way is clear of snow at most times during winter so it is easily accessed by two wheel drive vehicles. Depending on conditions every now and then snow chains may be required. These can be hired from service stations in THREDBO, Jindabyne and Cooma.

From Victoria join the scenic Alpine Way at Albury for one of Australia's great drives.  (this section of the Alpine way may be closed from July - Sept).  

As THREDBO resort lies within the boundaries of the Kosciuszko National Park. As such, there is a fee payable on entry to the Park. The fees are currently

24 hour pass - $15 per car
