The Winter School Holidays are one of the most exciting times to visit Perisher Valley.

Discover the Magic of Perisher During the School Holidays
Perisher is Australia’s largest ski resort and a dream destination for families looking to experience the snow. Whether it’s your child’s first time seeing snowflakes fall or your family’s annual ski pilgrimage, the Winter School Holidays bring a special energy to the mountain.
With beginner slopes, ski and snowboard lessons, dedicated learning areas, and plenty of snow play opportunities, Perisher caters to every age and ability. The village comes alive with families enjoying the excitement of the snow while taking advantage of the many activities available both on and off the slopes.
Skiing and Snowboarding for the Whole Family
Perisher’s extensive terrain makes it ideal for families. Beginners can gain confidence on Front Valley’s gentle slopes while more experienced skiers and snowboarders explore the resort’s four interconnected areas.
Professional ski and snowboard lessons are available for children and adults, helping everyone improve their skills while having fun. Many families discover that the school holidays are the perfect time to learn together and create shared experiences on the mountain.
Tobogganing and Snow Play Fun
Not everyone comes to Perisher to ski. Tobogganing remains one of the most popular family snow activities and provides endless entertainment for children and adults alike.
Build a snowman, create a snow fort, enjoy a family snowball fight, or simply marvel at the winter wonderland surrounding you. For younger children especially, these simple snow experiences often become the highlights of the holiday.
