Alpine Village is centrally located in south east New South Wales, Australia.
Nesteled within the Kosciuszko National Park, Thredbo Village is within driving
distance of Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney which is ideal for weekend trips and
longer stays.
The village was established
in 1957 by a Tony Sponar, a Czechoslovakian Olympian who emigrated to Australia
seven years previous. After the completion of the Alpine Way, the village went
ahead in leaps and bounds, lodges both commercial and club, chalets and commercial
guest houses quickly were built mostly styled in European architecture with a
strong Austrian influence.
Changes
in the late '60's to the village master plan provided Thredbo with the ability
to be established as a summer and winter destination. Since 1991 Thredbo has seen
an enormous amount of development on facilities and infrastructure.
