Perisher
The largest ski resort in the Southern Hemisphere, made up of four areas (Perisher Valley, Blue Cow, Smiggin Holes and Guthega) with more than forty lifts.
Perisher has about 1,245 hectares of skiable terrain, with runs for beginner, intermediate and advanced skiers. It is friendly to beginners and has a snow park and cross-country trails. Accommodation on the mountain is limited, so most visitors stay in Jindabyne. They either drive up via Kosciuszko Road (snow chains are required in winter) or take the Skitube train from Bullocks Flat up the mountain. Lift tickets are more expensive in peak season, so it is best to buy a multi-day pass online in advance.
Opening hours
Daily about 08:30–16:00 during ski season
