Australia’s only alpine Gondola was officially launched with a ribbon cutting on Saturday the 22nd of June by Tourism and Snowy Mountains dignitaries. Quickly becoming one of the Thredbo’s favorite attractions, this milestone moment sees years of planning and development coming together to deliver even more to passionate snow enthusiasts.

With a 6 minute travel time from Thredbo Village to the Cruiser area and Merritts Mountain House, heading up the mountain in the comfortable European cabins is a snap.
