Guthega
The smallest and quietest ski area in Perisher, beside Guthega Dam, the first dam of the Snowy Mountains Scheme, and a walking access point in summer.
Guthega lies in the Snowy River valley north of Perisher Valley. It was built in the 1950s to house the Norwegian workers who constructed Guthega Dam and its power station. The ski area is mostly intermediate runs through the trees, and it is quiet and uncrowded. It connects to other parts of Perisher by ski trails. In summer you can walk from here to Blue Lake and to the northern section of the main range around Mount Gungartan. The mountain roads are narrow, so carry snow chains in winter.
Opening hours
