Thredbo is a 20 minute drive from the Resort along the Alpine Way. The most convenient way to get to Perisher is a 5 minute drive to the Skitube Alpine Railway (the Resort has a complimentary in-house shuttle to the skitube in winter that runs on a timetable), the train ride will then take you 15 minutes to arrive at Perisher and another 10 minutes to get to Blue Cow. We are a 45 minute drive to Perisher

To walk to Kosciuszko, you need to first catch a chairlift from Thredbo which will take approximately 25 minutes, the walk to Mt Kosciusko is then approximately 4-5 hours return to the top of the chairlift. The walk is moderate. The chair lift runs between 9.30am - 4.00pm in summer and the cost is approximately $29.50 per adult. At Lake Crackenback Resort we have guided day and overnight walks to Mt Kosciuszko. See http://www.lakecrackenback.com.au/walks/
