Perisher vs Thredbo | compare two top ski resorts in Australia

[@AngusRourke]

Thredbo is the better resort in my opinion, even though Thredbo is more for advanced skiers/snowboarders, it has also some areas for beginners such as Friday Flat and Merritts which also gives a strong family friendly experience

[@TraveleatChannel]

I love Thredbo Village & the atmosphere.

[@Letssavememories]

Thank you for clearing my confusion..Best review ever .. But I want to visit both places ,I guess I won’t get time to visit on one day ..

[@TraveleatChannel]

Thanks for your lovely feedback! Yes you can visit both of them in 1 day but I think it's a bit too rush. Thredbo is about 61km or 1 hour drive from Perisher (under normal condition, when snowing it will take longer and you will need to put on snow chains for 2WD). You can start early and go to Thredbo first, drive slowly around to view the beautiful village with great alpine atmosphere. Then you can park somewhere, there are 2P parking near the information center. Walk and check around, the Village Square, the skiing field, etc. Then you can go to Perisher Valley, where you can both skiing & snow playing & tobogganing. Please always drive with care.

Thredbo has had a few chairs fall off in the last few years from lack of maintenance 👏

For advanced skis Thredbo wrong Perisher has 2 double black runs and more blacks

[@TraveleatChannel]

Hi Marcus, thanks for your feedback. As mentioned in the video, Perisher has more runs than Thredbo and also the black runs. The black runs at Thredbo are steeper and longer. Both of them are good, it's just personal choices.

[@TraveleatChannel]

I love Thredbo's atmosphere too, more vibrant than Perisher.

[@damianmcwilliams2371]

Thredbo is awesome.

[@anguscovoflyer95]

Perisher has got an excessive number of t bars!!

[@TraveleatChannel]

Thank you for your feedback

[@lowexpectations6632]

This is good , as when it’s windy you can still use the mountain unlike Thredbo .

Thank you so much. Do you have any idea how to hire the toboggans and tubes at the play area?

[@TraveleatChannel]

Hi Rica, you can hire toboggans at snow gear rental shops around Jindabyne. You can hire single day or multiple days. For example this one bossoutdoorsports.com.au/product/snow-accessories (no commercial ad here, just we used it twice and happy with the service), you can check the price online.

[@TraveleatChannel]

@Mtbandski Thank you, a good spot, I just fixed the spelling. I just checked the rhythm snowsports but the rental price is higher than the one I normally rent in Jindabyne. The store looks bigger, maybe better for buying skiing/snowboarding stuff there.

[@VerabellaOparah]

Thank you so much for this I will be picking Perisher as a family of 4 with 2 little kids. Do you think we would find any much snow going in the middle of June?

[@TraveleatChannel]

Hi Verabella, we're going there next month too. Hope with this earlier cold weather, we will have enough snow to play with small kids. Fingers crossed!

[@shazphilip]

Thank you. What about snowboarding for beginners ?

[@TraveleatChannel]

Hi Shazo, I think Perisher is better for snow boarding beginners, I saw many new beginners last week at Perisher (the Front Valley) learning their snowboarding.

[@RobloxDude123]

When I enter Perisher why is there a road with no gate and one with a gate what one is they for?

[@TraveleatChannel]

Hi, do you mean the gate to go to Kosciuszko National Park? One with gate is to buy the ticket at the gate. The other one is if you already buy parking ticket in advance or if you already have an annual parking membership.

[@RobloxDude123]

@@TraveleatChannel oh ok thanks

[@ankititp]

thanks , so where is cable car ride in perisher valley or thredbo ?

[@TraveleatChannel]

Hi Ankit, do you mean the Merritt Gondola? It's in Thredbo.

[@ankititp]

@@TraveleatChannel yes this one , thanks

[@lowexpectations6632]

The gondola is closed most of time due to wind restrictions . They reprogrammed everything after chairs fell off with customers on them 👌

[@rodgallagher5566]

Both are awesome!??????

[@TraveleatChannel]

Yes, depending on your need actually. They're not too far from each other by the way.
