This post breaks down for readers some of the more creative Snowy Mountain stopovers you can make on your way down to Thredbo in either winter or summer. There are some brilliant wineries, entertainment precincts, kids activities like ice skating, some different animal parks that are outside Sydney you may not have thought of, and some intriguing stops, such as the Plant Bank, in case of a nuclear explosion we can thankfully replant the nation from seeds held in secure depositories, all discoverable between Sydney to Thredbo Village. ?Find something to please fussy travellers from this list.
Families travelling in vehicles to the snow for the very first time can often feel daunted by the idea of ?snow driving? or driving under snow conditions. This post addresses a few of the issues worth reading and thinking about before setting off for your trip. It?s not so daunting after all, and all tips are common sense.
Ski trip packing is enough to put you off skiing...or is it? Readers utilised this comprehensive packing list to get them thoroughly ready for their upcoming trip to the snow, including how to source less expensive items, incidental items you may have even thought of until too late and the best kind of snacks and other items work best on the ski slopes.
When active people are into their sports, they don?t want anything to hold them up, not even the weather. This post looked at the best trails and tracks to cycle on during the winter season, when traditionally snow prevents riders from accessing snow laden trails. The post looked at bike clothing for winter and other bike riding accessories.
Not everyone comes to Thredbo Village for the skiing or snowboarding during the winter season and readers were interested to know about the sculpture trail that takes walkers, including little ones (or old ones) around the village, purposely hunting down interesting sculptures of all sizes made from weather resistant materials. Get creative and active and don?t even pick up a ski pole. Hot chocolates optional.
Bike riding is not longer just for the obsessives, it?s also for families, groups of friends, first timers and little ones. This post looked at what clothing and accessories are necessary, popular, convenient or just plain coveted because they look good. It also looked at sourcing second hand stuff to save you cash, so there?s more left in your bank account for other stuff.
Travellers these days are pretty discerning. People are educated, likely to use the internet as an excellent tool for research as well as ask around family and friends for anecdotal information on which places ?work? as a family destination and why. This is a post that addresses the logistics on why Thredbo ticks all the boxes as a holiday destination year-round. It looked at free stuff, travel times, accommodation and a heap of other handy aspects to consider when working out where and when to take your brood this year. Get into it and then get packing.
That?s it for the most popular posts for 2015. Whether it be biking, relaxing, cultural considerations or enjoying a cultural ?pub-crawl? style holiday ducking in and out of interesting wineries, galleries and markets on your way down to Thredbo Village, there?s a veritable stack of things to do to tickle your fancy. Be sure to explore our new website and contact our tireless staff by website chat, email or phone to sort out your Lantern Thredbo accommodation queries.
