Explore - Perisher Valley

Before skiers and boarders took over this area, Perisher Valley was home to graziers in the summer months and occasionally livestock were trapped in the high country during unseasonal blizzards. Braving the full force of a blizzard as they crested the Gap, the feeling among the graziers was - "This is truly a perisher!". The term "Perisher" meant extreme and amazing, which perfectly describes Perisher today.

Perisher Valley has a great range of terrain from beginner runs at Happy Valley, through to advanced terrain like Olympic and Mt Perisher. With one of our five terrain parks and Australia's only Superpipe housed on Front Valley, it's a very active and exciting place to be.

Perisher Valley has a large range of areas for beginner and intermediate skiers but also happily accommodates our advanced guests. With extra snow activities such as marked cross country trails, night skiing two nights a week throughout the season for extra fun, nothing compares to the terrain we have, it's just up to you to explore it.

How to get to Perisher

Driving to Perisher is a 30 minute drive from Jindabyne Town Centre. This is a great way to see our beautiful landscape and get some pretty spectacular views of Jindabyne. We have a large car park that is available for day use only, and then walk from your car right onto the snow. If you're driving to Perisher, keep in mind that you're legally required to carry properly fitting chains in any vehicle other than 4WD's within the National Park. All details about entering the National Parks can be found here.

The other option is to jump on board the Skitube, our Alpine Railway! This is an easy and convenient way to get from Bullocks Flat to Perisher Valley being only 20 minutes from Jindabyne with no National Parks fees, easy free parking and generally no need for chains (this can change with weather, so be sure to check the road reports before leaving Jindabyne).
