Thredbo Alpine Club takes great pride in its rich history and tradition. The club's origins can be traced back to a group of likeminded Sydney University students in the late 1950s who saw the potential for a lodge in the newly established ski resort at Thredbo. Through their visionary efforts and collaborative work, the club was formed, and a lodge was built. Today, the lodge remains a central feature of Thredbo Village and serves as a testament to the club's enduring legacy, which spans over 65 years.

Thredbo Alpine Club welcomes all individuals who share a passion for skiing and alpine sports to join their community and be a part of their ongoing mission to promote and enjoy the beautiful mountainous surroundings.
