The Largest Ski Resort in the Southern Hemisphere!
Perisher (formerly known as Perisher Blue) is Australia’s largest resort boasting 49 lifts over 7 mountain peaks and offers the European style of skiing or boarding between different mountain villages across a variety of slopes and linked by a massive lift network. With over 3000 acres of skiable terrain you can ski all day and not catch the same lift twice. With more skiing at a higher altitude means you’ll have the best snow, in the biggest resort, having the most fun!
There’s a whole mountain of activities to choose from, explore tube town, night skiing or groomer tours. Perisher and Smiggin Holes villages offer shopping and facilities including a pharmacy, mini supermarket, photographer, newsagency, ATMs and a host of restaurants and bars.
