Thredbo, known best for its snowy slopes, is fast becoming just as famous in the warmer months as a one stop adventure destination for trekkers, hikers, bikers and those who simply want a sublime mountain escape.

In Autumn, the mountains are bursting with a kaleidoscope of colour, the air has a cheeky nip and there is so much to do.  Thredbo has a big autumn line-up of fun that includes events, activities, festivals and adventures.

Headlining these April school holidays is Thredbo's Golden Easter Egg Hunt by Lindt where six hidden eggs, represent cash. There will be a jackpot egg worth $5,000 and five other golden eggs worth $1,000 each. With six opportunities to take home to cash this Easter could be extra $pecial.  For the littlies there will also be the famous Giant Kids Easter Egg Hunt, where over 5,000 Lindt chocolate eggs will be ready to be found.

Boosting the line-up is the School Holidays Adventure Festival, April 8-22, with a giant program of activities and entertainment. The kids can climb peaks, jump on a bike, roll through the new skate park, get creative, clown around and dance up a storm. 

Here's a sample of the Adventure Festival activities:

• Kids Night Adventures

• Circus Workshop
• Family Yoga
• Mountain Bike Workshops
• Treasure Hunt
• Family movies at dusk
• Face painting
• Clowning around
• Arts and Craft sessions

Then make a list of resort activities to tick off - like the Bobsled, heated pool, waterslide, Mission Inflatable, Springfree trampolines, pump track, golf, tennis, Disc Golf Park and chairlift and the kids will have a blast. 

Love to pedal with the family? Thredbo also has an amazing network of mountain bike trails for all standards of riders. From the gentle meandering Pipeline Path to the adrenalin filled downhill and new high alpine All Mountain Trail you're sure to find a favourite. 

The 17 km Thredbo Valley Track is a popular choice for families.  You'll ride right alongside the Thredbo River and make crossings on some impressive suspension bridges over undulating landscapes.  There are picnic and swimming spots to rest and take a break along the way. There are regular shuttle services to bring you up the valley back to Thredbo.

Great value, unparalleled alpine adventures, a village full of activities and a mountain of things to do for the whole family, Thredbo is the place to be these holidays.
