Thredbo is a compact resort with a good variety of runs, including Australia’s longest and highest ski runs. There’s also a great area for kids and beginners, Friday Flat. It is the only resort to have a substantial Alpine village at the base of the mountain with accommodation, shops, restaurants and bars.
Perisher is the largest resort, with four separate ski areas and three times as many runs as Thredbo. It’s great for skiers and snowboarders of all ages and abilities. It is also easy to access from Jindabyne with the Skitube Railway running from Bullocks Flat.
Charlotte Pass is the smallest resort and the only one that is completely snowbound in winter. You will stay in one of the lodges at the base of the runs and get to look out over the snow at night.
