Two-week carnival to kick off 2 April with a range of family-friendly activities

  • Thredbo Resort has launched its Easter Adventure Carnival for 2021.
  • The Carnival will be held across two weeks with a range of activities to entertain the whole family from 2 April – 18 April.
  • All activities will be run in accordance with Thredbo’s COVID-19 Safe Operating Plan developed under the guidance of the NSW Government.

Thredbo has unveiled its jam-packed calendar for the Easter Adventure Carnival with a two-week celebration kicking off on 2 April.

The Carnival has been a big hit at Thredbo Resort in past years with a wide range of family-friendly activities in the schedule to entertain guests.

Thredbo Events & Partnerships Manager Damian Goninan said he was delighted to bring the Easter Adventure Carnival back again.

“The Easter Carnival has always been a favourite in the events calendar and we’re so excited to be able to offer a full range of great activities for the whole family again over the Easter period. There’s something in the program for everyone,” Mr Goninan said.

The opening weekend will feature Dan Druff the Roaming Clown, craft workshops, slacklining, family yoga classes, fly fishing demonstrations and a kids’ bike race. There will also be a tree planting session to help the resort off-set carbon emissions and protect its unique alpine environment.

The Easter Bunny will pay the kids a special visit on Easter Sunday with lucky Lindt gondola rides every hour providing guests the opportunity to win a Lindt basket of chocolate goodies on randomly selected gondola cabins.

The brand-new state of the art Merritts Gondola, which was unveiled last winter, will open especially for the Saturday, Sunday and Monday of the Easter long weekend with all Scenic lift pass holders gaining complimentary access.

The Merritts Gondola takes guests up the mountain in just six minutes via comfortable European-style cabins. At the top, guests will enjoy live music at Merritts Mountain House to mark the opening weekend of the Easter Adventure Carnival with regular live gigs also scheduled at the Alpine Bar throughout the two-week period.

During the Carnival, Land Rover will be hosting their signature Land Rover Experience Drives with guests able to see what the Defender is truly capable of in the mountains with a qualified instructor. Meanwhile, the kids will be able to take joy rides in the Mini-Defender at Friday Flat.

Additional activities include Mission Inflatable and waterslide rides at the Thredbo Leisure Centre, guided hikes, alpine bobsled rides and mountain bike clinics.

All events will be run in accordance with Thredbo’s COVID-19 Safe Operating Plan that has been developed under the guidance of the NSW Government.
