Merritts Mountain Haus Feasts are a great way to spend a special evening in Thredbo for everyone from families to couples. Guests start the night by riding the Merritts Gondola under the stars to Merritts Mountain House with adults being greeted with a Glühwein on arrival.

Dinner is a Bavarian-inspired feast that will leave even the hungriest diners satisfied. The ride down is unforgettable as guests take in views of Thredbo Village sparkling below as they travel in the cosy gondola. Merritts Mountain Haus Feasts will run on select Fridays from 17 June to 26 August.
