Easter at Thredbo: Chocolate, Adventure & Easter Holidays Done Right

Posted on 17 Mar, 2026 in Activities

If you’re doing the Easter school holidays, you may as well do them properly. Fresh alpine air, a stacked lineup of activities and plenty of chocolate along the way… Thredbo is dialled for it.

Running from Friday 3 April – Sunday 19 April 2026, the Kids Easter Adventure Festival turns the school holidays into one big playground in the mountains.

Big Days Outside
When you’re not chasing Easter eggs, there’s a whole mountain waiting. Cruise the MTB trails, hike to the top of Mt Kosciuszko or take it all in from above on the Merritts Gondola or Kosciuszko Chairlift. Plus don’t forget about the Southern Hemisphere’s first-ever year-round Alpine Coaster!

It’s the kind of school holiday energy that gets everyone outside and making the most of it.

Top Off Your Adventure With Some Live Music

Kick back and relax with family and friends as we unwind from a big day of hiking and bike adventures with some of your favourite covers thanks to Canberra based rockers – The Department of Noise. Learn more here.

Mountainfilm on Tour

Mountainfilm on Tour, presented by Osprey, brings the spirit of Telluride’s iconic festival to screens across Australia.

Expect a powerful line up of short documentaries spanning adventure, environment and the human spirit – stories that go beyond the summit and into what really drives us. From breath taking expeditions to raw, personal journeys of resilience and purpose, each film is a reminder of what’s possible when curiosity, courage and compassion collide.
