What to see and do in Thredbo

Hiring a caravan, motorhome, campervan or RV in Thredbo is the best way to experience the Snowy Mountains, offering you the flexibility to stay riverside at a bush campground while being just minutes from Australia’s premier alpine village. You can tackle the country’s longest ski runs or mountain bike trails by day, then retreat to your heated mobile base to swap stories under a galaxy of stars.

Scenic drives

Scenic drives

The Alpine Way is one of Australia’s most spectacular touring routes, winding through tall mountain forests and past the dramatic western fall of the Main Range. It connects Thredbo to the Khancoban area, offering breathtaking stops like Scammells Lookout where you can get a panoramic view of the ridgelines. This sealed road is perfect for a motorhome adventure, though it can be steep and winding, so take your time and enjoy the journey through the high country.

Nature & parks

Nature & parks

Thredbo is your gateway to the rooftop of Australia; take the Kosciuszko Express Chairlift to the top and embark on the walk to the summit of Mount Kosciuszko to stand on the highest point on the continent. For a more immersive nature experience, the Merritts Nature Track winds through alpine ash forests and twisted snow gums, offering a habitat for unique wildlife like the mountain pygmy-possum. In summer, the alpine wildflowers transform the rugged landscape into a stunning tapestry of colour.

Local history & culture

Local history & culture

The Snowy Mountains have a deep spiritual connection for the Ngarigo and Walgal people, who have travelled here for thousands of years to feast on Bogong moths. You can pay respects to the region’s recent history on the Thredbo Memorial Walk, which commemorates the 1997 landslide, or explore the legacy of the "Man from Snowy River" legends that permeate the high country. The village itself has a distinct European heritage, influenced by the workers of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme who helped establish the ski culture.

Local tastes (food/drink)

Local tastes (food/drink)

Ride the chairlift to Eagles Nest, Australia’s highest restaurant, to enjoy a hot chocolate or a meal with unparalleled views over the valley. Back on the valley floor, The Local Pub is the go-to spot for a post-adventure beer and a hearty meal on the sun-drenched deck. A short drive from the village in your campervan will take you to the Wildbrumby Schnapps Distillery in Crackenback, famous for its Austrian-style schnapps and alpine hospitality.

Outdoor adventure

Outdoor adventure

Thredbo is the adrenaline capital of the mountains, home to the Thredbo Mountain Bike Park and the famous Cannonball Run for gravity-fuelled thrills. For a new kind of rush, try the Alpine Coaster, the Southern Hemisphere's first year-round toboggan ride that twists through the snow gums. Anglers can also enjoy world-class fly fishing in the pristine waters of the Thredbo River, right on the doorstep of the major campgrounds.

Camping lifestyle

Camping lifestyle

For the ultimate alpine camping experience, park your RV at the Thredbo Diggings campground, a secluded spot by the river where you can sleep amongst the snow gums. Just down the road, Ngarigo campground offers spacious unpowered sites in a tall alpine ash forest, perfect for families and groups who want to disconnect. Both campgrounds provide easy access to the Thredbo Valley Track, allowing you to cycle or walk directly from your campsite.

Frequently asked questions

How much does campervan, caravan, motorhome & RV hire in Thredbo cost?

Prices vary depending on the vehicle's age, size, and features. On Camplify, you can find options from local owners (often based in nearby Jindabyne or Cooma) ranging from rugged campers to luxury motorhomes, typically from $90 to $350+ per night.

When is the best time to visit Thredbo for a road trip?

Summer (December-February) is perfect for hiking, biking, and exploring the high plains. Autumn (March-May) offers beautiful colours and fewer crowds. Winter (June-August) is peak ski season, while Spring (September-November) sees the snow melt and wildflowers bloom.

Can I camp in Kosciuszko National Park with a caravan or motorhome?

Yes! There are several NPWS campgrounds, like Thredbo Diggings, that are suitable for caravans, campervans, and motorhomes. These are often unpowered, so a self-contained RV is ideal. Park entry fees apply, and bookings may be required.

Do I need snow chains for my campervan or motorhome in winter?

Yes. If you are driving a 2WD vehicle (which includes most motorhomes and campervans) on the roads to Thredbo between the June and October long weekends, it is a legal requirement to carry snow chains and fit them when directed.

Are there pet-friendly hire options for Thredbo?

While many Camplify owners offer pet-friendly vans, please note that pets are not permitted in most areas of Kosciuszko National Park, including Thredbo village and the campgrounds.

What licence do I need to hire an RV for Thredbo?

For most campervans, motorhomes, and RVs (under 4.5 tonnes GVM), you only need a standard car licence. If you're hiring a caravan, you'll also need a tow-capable vehicle and to check its towing capacity.
