Getting around the resort
Thredbo provides a free shuttle bus which travels continually around the resort during winter.
Kosciuszko National Park entry
You will be required to pay an entry fee for the National Park (Thredbo lies inside the National Park). Day and multi day passes are available from the park gate or the NPWS Visitors Centre in Jindabyne.
Visit the National Parks website for Park Entry Fees.
Annual passes can only be purchased online on the National Parks website prior to arrival or at the NPWS Visitors Centre in Jindabyne; they are not available at the park gate.
