After following the Thredbo Valley Track along to Crackenback, this lower extension is a thrilling new option for adventure riders keen to test their legs on a more challenging, and remote section of this iconic track. The first 3km’s beyond Crackenback is an easy to moderate ride before getting more technical and the landscape more remote. Packed with challenges including tight switchbacks, high berms, rocky surfaces, and steep gradients it’s a great trail for intermediate and advanced riders. Note that there are no exit points beyond Crackenback until Gaden Trout Hatchery.
