Apres-Ski Indulgence Week

Après-Ski Indulgence Week at Kooloora Lodge

16th–23rd August | Complimentary Glühwein Nightly

Signature Drinks. Alpine Views. Unforgettable Moments.

This August, Kooloora Lodge invites you to slow down, warm up, and savour winter properly.

From 16th to 23rd August, we’re celebrating Après-Ski Indulgence Week — and every in-house guest aged 18 and over will receive one complimentary Glühwein each evening in our alpine bar. Book before 31st March to receive this offer.

Because after a day carving turns in Perisher Valley, nothing compares to wrapping your hands around a warm mug of spiced wine while the mountains glow pink outside.


A Vibrant Alpine Hub in the Heart of Perisher

Surrounded by breathtaking Snowy Mountains scenery, Kooloora Lodge has always been a cosy retreat. Now, with the addition of our welcoming bar space, it’s also a lively hub for storytelling, connection, and celebration.

“We’re so excited to welcome guests to our bar,” says Rosemary Marchant.
“It’s a warm, welcoming space where you can unwind after a day on the slopes, enjoy unique drinks, and connect with fellow adventurers. This is just the beginning of the special experiences we want to share at Kooloora Lodge.”

Open daily from 5pm throughout winter, our bar is where ski days end and unforgettable evenings begin.


Discover Our Signature Alpine Cocktails

Crafted in collaboration with Wild Brumby Distillery, our cocktail menu celebrates the flavours of the Snowy Mountains with local ingredients and alpine inspiration.

Each drink tells a story of winter.

Featured Creations

Mountain Mule
Baked apple schnapps, gin, ginger beer, fresh lime juice and cinnamon syrup — crisp, spiced and perfectly refreshing after a day in ski boots.

Winter Storm
Vodka, devil’s tongue schnapps, ginger beer, lime juice and native pepperberry shrub — bold, warming and unmistakably alpine.

Espresso Martini
Vodka, Wild Brumby coffee liqueur and fresh espresso — smooth, dark and sophisticated for long winter evenings.

Mango Margarita
Tequila, Wild Brumby mango liqueur and fresh lime juice — vibrant, zesty and unexpectedly perfect in the snow.

And during Indulgence Week?
Every evening begins with a complimentary Glühwein — rich, fragrant and gently spiced, just as it should be in the mountains.


More Than a Bar — It’s the Lodge Experience

The Kooloora bar isn’t just about drinks.

It’s about:

• Sharing trail stories from the day
• Meeting fellow skiers and boarders
• Quiet conversations by alpine light
• Lively group gatherings
• That first warm sip when your cheeks are still rosy from the cold

With ski-out convenience, delicious dining, and an alpine-inspired interior reflecting the beauty of Perisher Valley, Kooloora Lodge offers the perfect balance of comfort, adventure and hospitality.
