Getting Here in Winter

It’s not easy getting to Charlotte Pass in winter. That’s part of its appeal.

There is no overnight car parking at Perisher Valley!

You must use one of these ways of getting to Charlotte Pass. You can choose to go via the Skitube or use a private shuttle to Perisher.

Choosing to go via the Skitube requires a bit more planning to get the timing right. You need to catch the Skitube at a time that will get you to Perisher in time to reach your oversnow transport.

2pm Check-In

You can check-in from 2pm onwards. This will help you work out what time you should arrange your oversnow transport and the other parts of your journey.

Leave your car in the free car park a the ski tube station in Bullocks Flat. Here’s the address:

Ski Tube

You should allow time to unload your car, get to the terminal and purchase your return ticket.
