Environment Week

Experts from National Parks and Wildlife Service and Australian National University will be sharing knowledge and education on the important role that the natural environment plays in Thredbo and Kosciuszko National Park.

Join us as we kick off Environment Week with an informative evening featuring scientists from the Australian National University. Enjoy a free drink on arrival, plus your chance to win a stack of giveaways & prizes, this is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the environmental impacts effecting our area.

To celebrate our Enviro Week, we're bringing a touch of green to Family Flare Run. We'll have our astronomy friends from the ANU, plus a display from the National Parks and Wildlife services on hand for kids to learn about the natural environment around them.

What happens in a black hole? Are there other planets that may support life? What caused the Big Bang? Explore these topics and more at a FREE session with astronomers from Mt Stromlo Observatory. No bookings required, just turn up and grab a seat.

The Snowy Mountains Bus Service connects Jindabyne to Thredbo daily, allowing guests and staff to access Thredbo resort without needing to drive their cars. The fewer cars on the roads lessens the likelihood of animal interactions and helps reduce the overall emissions associated with travel to Thredbo. To say thanks to all those choosing community transport, we will be giving away a FREE coffee to one lucky bus of guests during Environment week.

We'll cap off Enviro Week with the Alpine Education Series presented by Arc’teryx, Thredbo Backcountry Tours and Mountain Safety Collective. Join us for an informative night on all things backcountry in our local environment!

Thredbo has been awarded Gold EarthCheck Certification four years running! This internationally recognised environmental milestone is a first for an Australian snow resort and is awarded by EarthCheck, the world’s leading environmental certification and benchmarking program for the travel and tourism industry.

Red Energy is owned by Snowy Hydro, so we're 100% Australian. Being our major energy partner, Red Energy has enabled Thredbo to be powered by renewable electricity.

Since 2009 Thredbo has partnered with Greenfleet to offset resort vehicle emissions including all fuel used to run our snow groomers and the resort shuttle buses. On top of this, in a global first in 2014, Thredbo started a forestry carbon offset program for guests to contribute towards tree planting when buying lift products.

Keep it Cool is a local not-for-profit organisation committed to restoring and regenerating forest areas around the Snowy Mountains in order to fight climate change. Together, we plant native trees to offset carbon emissions.
