The Alpine Way is a stunning 120 km route winding through the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, taking about 2 to 2.5 hours to ride. This iconic ride starts in Jindabyne and ends at Khancoban, offering some of Australia's most breathtaking mountain scenery. With its combination of sweeping curves, steep climbs, and spectacular lookouts, the Alpine Way is a favourite among motorcyclists seeking both challenge and beauty.


The road is fully sealed, but it's known for its tight hairpin bends, narrow sections, and steep descents, which require careful handling—especially in wet or icy conditions. The ride takes you through dense alpine forests, past the majestic peaks of the Kosciuszko National Park, and offers stunning views of the Snowy River below. The smooth, sweeping bends and tighter technical corners make this route perfect for experienced riders looking to enjoy some spirited riding.


A must-stop is Thredbo Village, about halfway through the route. It’s a great place to take a break, grab a coffee, and enjoy the mountain views before continuing. The journey also provides access to several hiking trails if you stretch your legs.


Be prepared for quickly changing mountain weather conditions, and the road is closed in winter. The final stretch into Khancoban rewards you with spectacular valley views and a sense of accomplishment. Whether you're riding for the thrill of the twists or the sheer beauty of the Snowy Mountains, the Alpine Way is a ride you'll never forget.
