Ecotourism Accreditation
Since 2011 Thredbo guided products such as Backcountry Tours and Hiking, have been granted Advanced Ecotourism Accreditation by Ecotourism Australia.
As an accredited business we are committed to environmental and industry best practices upholding sustainability of business and activities. The activities promote consciousness for conservation by conducting all tours under the Leave No Trace ethics and creating an opportunity to open environmental dialogue between visitors, guides and the community.
We are accredited to discuss climate change and its effect on our operation, ways we can reduce our contribution to climate change both in our guests’ holidaying choices, practices and how we deliver our tour products.
The EnvironmentThredbo operates within Kosciuszko National Park, one of Australia’s most beautiful and sensitive natural settings. Our innovative environmental initiatives cover all aspects of resort operations so we can preserve our unique alpine backyard for future generations.
CommunityThredbo understands caring for the environment is a team effort. We work in collaboration with NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, the Thredbo community, Red Energy, Snowy Hydro, and local non-profit groups to protect the mountains we value so much.
LeadershipThredbo is Australia’s first snow resort to have its major resort operations powered by renewable electricity and to achieve Gold EarthCheck Sustainable Destination Certification, setting a new benchmark for environmental sustainability within the snow industry and protecting our environment into the future.
