Valhalla Perisher Ski Lodge (02) 9523 4885
Parking
Free overnight parking is at Bullocks Flat Skitube Terminal. As we are snowbound for most of the ski season, there is no overnight parking at our lodge nor on the mountain at Perisher due to snow clearing operations and road closures. The parking lot at Perisher is for day parking only. If you are using a GPS enter your destination as "Bullocks Flat" on Alpine Way. Bullocks Flat is below the snow line so chains are rarely required.
Note: Sometimes NPWS allow limited parking at our lodge and Smiggin Holes for June and October Long Weekends. In the event that roads are open and parking is permitted we will notify you a few days prior to arrival.
We DO NOT recommend driving up to Perisher to drop bags off. Our lodge is usually snowbound for most of the season and regardless of conditions, road closures will be in place. Cars left overnight at Perisher will be fined and may be damaged during snow clearing operations. Additional NPWS entry fees will be payable, chains must be carried and roads can be very slow and hazardous. It will add at least 1 hour to your total journey in both directs. Save yourself the inconvenience, just take the tube!

Early Arrivals (before 4pm)
Guests arriving early will not be served breakfast on the day of arrival. Bags can be stored at the lodge until check in. Note: Our lodge is usually not staffed between 10am - 4pm, so PLEASE ADVISE your estimated time of arrival to ensure a staff member is on site to greet you.

If you choose to ski on arrival day you can purchase a skier coupon from us or directly with Hans Oversnow at $7 per person. The coupon can be used between 3:30pm - 5:30pm to return with Hans Oversnow to our lodge. Alternatively it's about a 10minute uphill walk.
Please note that some luggage restrictions apply for the skitube on certain days in peak season between 8am-10.20am. Please see the skitube timetable for more information.
Late Arrivals (after 8pm)
Guests arriving on the 8pm skitube will miss our 7pm dinner service and will therefore not be served dinner. There will be no reductions or refunds of your package price for late arrivals. There may not be any dinner options open in Perisher Valley depending upon the time you arrive so it would be best to eat along the way.
Note: Hans Oversnow charges a $110 call out fee for arrivals after midnight on Saturday to Thursday nights and after 12:30am Saturday mornings (Friday night arrivals). This fee is payable directly to Hans Oversnow.
