It’s important to let your guide know if you have any pre-existing medical conditions (such as motion sickness, fear of heights, heart conditions, pregnancy, asthma and musculoskeletal issues) prior to the walk. This will help us cater the walk to your needs and make your trip more enjoyable.
- We encourage guests to Leave No Trace and observe the Hiking Responsibility Code:
- Pack a reusable water bottle โ our guides will point out the refill station at the bottom of the chairlifts
- Dispose of all waste properly โ no bins are located on hiking trails; all waste is to be disposed in appropriate locations across Thredbo Village
- Travel on durable surfaces โ remain on designated walking tracks or travel on surfaces which can tolerate trampling. Much of the alpine ecosystem is fragile and cannot recover from trampling
- Leave what you find โ do not pick or remove anything natural
- Respect wildlife โ appreciate wildlife through quiet and observation from afar
- Be considerate of hosts and other visitors โ remain on left hand side of hiking trails to allow for 2-way traffic and others to pass. Do not play music aloud when hiking.
