Thredbo MTB Park Opening Weekend 2026

Mountain Bike Park Opening Weekend marks the beginning of Thredbo’s 2026/27 lift-accessed gravity riding season. Riders can return to the park to explore new trail sections and upgrades across terrain catering to different ability levels. The weekend extends beyond riding, with competitions, giveaways, live music, food, retail sales, coaching and equipment hire helping turn opening day into a broader mountain-bike celebration.

Cost: There is no separate general admission fee currently listed for the weekend entertainment. Riding the lift-accessed MTB park requires an appropriate mountain bike or Gravity Pass, while rentals, clinics, food and other paid services are additional.

Where to stay

Opening Weekend is designed around full days on the trails followed by afternoon and evening activities in the village, so Thredbo is the most convenient place to base yourself. Staying nearby makes it easier to get onto the mountain in the morning and return to your accommodation after the live music without adding extra driving to an already active day.

Mountain bikers also tend to travel with considerably more equipment than the average visitor. Choosing Thredbo accommodation from Discover Snowy Mountains gives couples, families and riding groups the space of an entire home, making it easier to organise riding gear, prepare meals and relax together between sessions in the bike park.
