Getting Here

If you are driving, it is important to note that in winter Swagman Chalet is snowbound and cannot be accessed by private vehicles. Overnight parking is not allowed in the Perisher Valley carpark from midnight to 7.00 am (due to snow clearing operations at night) so the options for guests arriving by car are as follows:

1. Skitube – from Jindabyne follow the signs to the Bullocks Flat Skitube Terminal on the Alpine Way; no chains are required to be carried, park in the free carpark (no National Parks pass required), and catch the Skitube to Perisher. Trains run every 30 minutes during the day and then on the hour from 6.00 pm till 10.00 pm most days. Please check train schedules and purchase tickets online at www.perisher.com.au. Upon arrival at the Perisher Skitube Terminal, go up the stairs and call us on 0428 130 913. We will send our snowbus to collect you and your luggage from the 4Site Oversnow/Charlotte Pass end of the building if you’re ready to check-in, or we can just collect and store your luggage until you’re ready to check in. Check-in time is from 4.00 pm onwards.

2. Drive directly to Perisher Valley (chains required to be carried by all 2WDs, and there is a National Parks entrance fee of $29 per day); unload in the bus turning circle where there are 15 minute parking bays from where we can collect you in our snowbus, then return your vehicle to Bullocks Flat and catch the Skitube back to Perisher. This option can save money on Skitube fares where there are several people in your group, however, it is a 45 minute trip for the driver taking the car back down.

3. Sawpit Valet Services – you meet them at Jindabyne, they come with you to Perisher and drop you off in the carpark, then take your car back to Jindabyne where it is parked in a secure area for the duration of your stay, and then returned to Perisher ready for your departure. This can be arranged by calling or texting Larissa on 0452 578 154 or by emailing: sawpitvaletservices@gmail.com.
