To and from Perisher

Skitube has become by far the most popular way of getting to and from the snow. Because the Bullocks Flat Terminal is well below the normal snow line, and only 20km from Jindabyne, it’s an easy drive.
From here frequent train services run to Perisher and on to Blue Cow. Coach services run morning and evening between Jindabyne and Bullocks Flat. Your Skitube Pass includes the National Park Use Fee.

How do I get there:

Perisher Blue is an easy 5.5 to 6 hour drive from Sydney or 7 hours from Melbourne with half the distance on freeway standard roads.

From Jindabyne access by road to Perisher, Smiggins and Guthega is via the Kosciuszko Road, with snow chains required to be carried by all vehicles past the National Park entrance. It's an easy half hour drive from Jindabyne in good weather.

Between June 1 and October 10, motorists are legally required to carry properly fitting chains in any vehicle in a "snow-ice" risk section within the National Park.

There is FREE day parking for 1500 vehicles at Perisher, 526 (plus 64 coach spaces) at Smiggins and 60 day and 50 overnight spaces at Guthega. Snow conditions can affect these numbers.


Alternatively, Skitube is 20kms or around 15 minutes drive from Jindabyne via the Alpine Way, with no chains normally required. FREE day parking for 2208 vehicles and overnight parking for 822 vehicles is available here. There is also parking for 200 coaches.

On-snow overnight parking at Perisher, Smiggins and Guthega is limited to a few properties - we recommend using Skitube for access.

Entry to the National Park is $15 per car per day. Annual passes are $80. Skitube includes park entry.
