Getting Here - Your guide to visiting the Perisher Valley Hotel

The Perisher Valley Hotel is located in the heart of Perisher; guests are able to access the hotel via the Perisher Valley car park or the Perisher Skitube, you must book your Skitube ticket online, in advance. 

Overnight Parking

National Parks and Wildlife Service does not allow overnight parking in Perisher Valley. The hotel has very limited car parking bays available, which must be pre-booked prior to your arrival. Alternatively, free parking is available at Bullocks Flat Skitube Terminal. Skitube operates every 20 minutes in peak times and hourly in the evenings providing safe and free parking during your visit. Check here for timetables and rates.

A National Parks Entry Pass is required for parking overnight in the designated hotel parking bays. Buy your NPWS Annual All Parks Pass online at nswparkspass.info before you arrive. The new digital passes are valid instantly from purchase (excluding discounted and concession annual passes).

To inform the Perisher Valley Hotel of your arrival please call our friendly reception team on (02) 6459 4552 and make your way directly to the car bay number provided by the hotel where our porter will arrange your transfer to the hotel. If arriving by Skitube call us prior to departing Bullocks Flat Terminal. 

Driving to the Snowy Mountains

If you’re driving from Sydney we suggest leaving between five and six hours to get here. If you’re coming from Melbourne it’s usually around a six hour drive. 

If you’re driving to Perisher from Jindabyne it’s an easy half hour drive in good weather; keep in mind that you're legally required to carry properly fitting chains in any vehicle other than 4WD's within the National Park. 

Plan ahead and bypass the NPWS vehicle entry station this winter. Buy your NPWS Annual All Parks Pass online at nswparkspass.info before you come skiing and snowboarding. The new digital passes are valid instantly from purchase (excluding discounted and concession annual passes). For further information about purchasing annual passes visit nswparkspass.info, or call the National Parks Contact Centre on 1300 072 757 for assistance.

There are a few things you need to be aware of when driving in the Snowy Mountains. Kangaroos and other wildlife are frequently seen, which is an amazing sight to see, but you don’t want to hit anything. 

Here’s some quick Subaru tips for driving in the snow:

• Use your fog lights
• Don’t tailgate - keep a good distance between the car in front incase you need to stop suddenly
• Brake gently
• Don’t use hot water to remove any ice on your windscreen – either scrape it away or use the demister.
