Perisher Trail Map

Perisher’s terrain stretches across four interconnected areas: Perisher Valley, Blue Cow, Smiggin Holes, and Guthega. Together, they form a massive alpine playground with 49 km of skiable terrain and 355 meters of vertical. Each area offers its own distinct flavor and snow conditions, and the lift network—ranging from high-speed sixes to surface lifts—ensures fast, easy access across the resort.

For families and beginners, Smiggin Holes is the go-to zone. Its gentle slopes, protected learning areas, and extensive grooming make it ideal for new skiers. The base is lower and the vibe is relaxed, with magic carpets and beginner-friendly lifts.

Intermediate skiers will thrive in Blue Cow, where trails like “Sidewinder” and “Zig Zag” provide moderate pitches, sweeping views, and flowing descents. Blue Cow also connects easily to Guthega, which features scenic, forested runs with fewer crowds and a tucked-away feel.

Advanced skiers head toward Mount Perisher’s steeper pitches. “Exhibition” and “Paradise” offer stronger descents, moguls, and quick drop-ins perfect for high-energy laps. These areas also hold good snow longer due to elevation and exposure.

Perisher’s terrain parks are top-notch, with four parks ranging from beginner zones to more advanced setups with rails, boxes, and medium-sized kickers. The Front Valley park is popular for progression, while the Leichhardt park caters to freestyle riders seeking more technical lines. The superpipe, groomed regularly, hosts events and gives riders a chance to push their limits.

With wide-open bowls, glade runs through snow gums, and panoramic ridgelines, Perisher delivers variety and scenery. The longest run stretches 3 km from the Ridge Chair, offering a scenic, rolling descent that touches all skill levels. Combined with Perisher’s extensive lift network, the terrain gives you freedom to explore without ever doubling back unnecessarily.
