What to see and do in Perisher

Hiring a caravan, motorhome, campervan or RV to visit Perisher gives you the ultimate flexibility to chase the snow in winter or explore the rooftop of Australia in summer. You can base yourself in the snow gums at Sawpit Creek, avoid the icy mountain roads by taking the Skitube, and return to your cosy, heated van after a big day on the slopes.

Scenic drives

Scenic drives

The Kosciuszko Road from Jindabyne to Perisher is the gateway to the high country, offering glimpses of the Snowy River and rugged granite tors. For a stunning day trip, take your motorhome onto the Alpine Way towards Khancoban; this iconic touring route winds through tall mountain forests and offers spectacular views of the Main Range’s western fall. In summer, you can drive past Perisher all the way to Charlotte Pass to see the peaks of the main range without the snow cover.

Nature & parks

Nature & parks

Perisher is situated within the majestic Kosciuszko National Park, home to twisted snow gums that look incredible under a blanket of white or amongst summer wildflowers. In the warmer months, park your RV and take the walk to Porcupine Rocks for a brilliant view over the Thredbo Valley, or tackle the summit walk to Mount Kosciuszko to stand on the highest point on the continent.

Local history & culture

Local history & culture

Legend has it the area was named when grazier James Spencer, caught in a blizzard, exclaimed "This is truly a perisher!" You can explore the region’s deep indigenous history—the Monero-Ngarigo people have gathered here for thousands of years for bogong moth feasting. For a look at recent history, the story of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme is etched into the landscape and local towns.

On your way up or down the mountain, stop at the Wildbrumby Distillery in the Thredbo Valley to taste authentic schnapps made from local fruit—perfect for a chilly evening in the van. Up in the village, The Man from Snowy River Hotel offers a classic alpine pub atmosphere where you can grab a hot chocolate or a cold beer while recounting the day's runs.
