Perisher consists of four adjacent ski areas: Perisher Valley, Smiggin Holes, Blue Cow Mountain and Guthega which makes this the largest ski resort in Australia with a terrain that is nothing less than sensational. Seven mountain peaks, 48 lifts and 1,245 hectares of skiable area offer something for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities and aspirations. Perisher’s lift capacity is close to 53,000 skiers per hour, and lifts such as the six quad-chairlifts and the eight-seater high-speed chairlift, the only one outside Europe, cut through the queues in record time. For freeride skiers and snowboarders, there are six terrain parks plus a superpipe. Perisher is also high. The base elevation is 1,720 m and height matters, given Australia’s fickle winters. For cross-country skiers, the Nordic Shelter gives access to more than 100 km of marked runs for skiers of all ability levels. Perisher has more than 60 lodges that offer the convenience of ski-in/ski-out access. And, of course, there’s everything you need to make the most of your ski holiday including various dining options, equipment and gear hire, boutiques and bars making Perisher the complete location for the perfect ski holiday.

Resorts close to Perisher include: Charlotte Pass (8 km), Thredbo (15 km), Selwyn Snowfields (55 km), Falls Creek (114 km), Dinner Plain (125 km),

Visitor Reviews of Perisher


PJ from Australia writes:

Just got back from the best weeks skiing we have had in Perisher for at least 10 years. Great snow, great company and no hassles. Like most punters are saying, if you get there a little earlier and plan your day then there is no problems with crowds. Love the new ticketing system except for one problem. Not all the lifts have an electronic gate (as yet) so my sixteen year old son got the wood on me for the week, because I spent too much time @ Nth.P. The only place that really needs attention is getting back from Mt.P.via Happy Valley T-Bar, where a lift is desperately needed. P.S even got 15% off beer @ Jax bar using my cheap season pass.
