Cascade Trail

Cascade trail, the popular mountain biking and walking trail in Thredbo, is gearing up for an exciting event that all cycling enthusiasts won't want to miss. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, this versatile trail is the perfect playground for both bikers and hikers alike.

Nestled within the breathtaking Kosciuszko National Park in Snowy Mountains, Cascade trail guides you through the stunning snow gum woodland and the captivating Pilot Wilderness Area. In the summer, you can grab your mountain bike and conquer the remote path or choose to hike and soak in the natural beauty. And when winter arrives, the trail transforms into a winter wonderland, inviting cross-country skiers, snowshoers, and even fat bikers to enjoy the snowy landscape.

Starting from Dead Horse Gap, the trail offers a 10 km ride or walk one-way, with a total of 20 km if you decide to go for the return trip. Along the way, you'll be treated to awe-inspiring lookouts, such as the famed Bob's Ridge. From here, you can feast your eyes on the picturesque Murray River valley stretching into Victoria. For those seeking an exhilarating multi-day adventure, Cascade trail conveniently connects to other thrilling mountain bike rides like the Pilot Wilderness mountain bike ride, Ingeegoodbee trail, Nine Mile trail, and Barry Way.

Before embarking on your Cascade trail experience, make sure to note that there are entry fees to access the park. It's always a good idea to bring drinking water, wear suitable clothing, pack some snacks, and have a bike repair kit handy in case of emergencies. In the summer months, the trail welcomes both bikers and walkers, while in winter, it becomes a pristine playground for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. And if you're a fan of fat biking, you'll be delighted to know that it's permitted all-year-round.
