Frequently Asked Questions

Lake Crackenback is below the snow line. We do not get big snowfalls here at the Resort very often however on rare occasions, chains may be required. We are outside the Kosciuszko National Park so it is not a legal requirement to carry chains to get to the Resort, within the National Park chains must be carried.

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/
