NSW Ski Resorts

Thredbo

Thredbo is a winter sports enthusiast's paradise. The ski resort, which has a European village feel, is known for its off-piste vibe, with a variety of bars, cafes, and restaurants offering New South Wales' best nightlife and buzz. It has the longest runs in Australia, as well as a robust snowmaking system and a variety of exciting tree-lined tracks, open bowls, and groomed supertrails. Ring the bell at the country's highest elevated point or take a spin on the country's only gondola, the Merritts Gondola.

Perisher

With over 12 kilometres of skiable terrain and four villages, Perisher is the largest ski resort in the Southern Hemisphere and Australia's best all-rounder park (Blue Cow, Guthega, Smiggin Holes, and Perisher Valley). With its pleasant park, board riders' school, women's snowboard programme, and newly built superpipe, Perisher ski resort appeals to snowboarders in particular, as well as those seeking a unique experience with unique drawcards such as Tube Town, winter music festivals, and night skiing events.

Charlotte Pass

Charlotte Pass is Australia's highest Alpine settlement, at 1760 metres above sea level, and receives the country's highest annual snowfall. The park is only accessible by Oversnow Transport due to its position in the heart of the Snowy Mountains. Charlotte Pass is regarded as an alpine paradise with uncrowded runs and short lift lines due to its remote location. The ski resort welcomes skiers and snowboarders of all abilities and provides a range of on-mountain lodging options with ski-in/ski-out access.
