Perisher opens a new chairlift
The Mt Perisher 6 Chairlift, nicknamed 'Mt P 6', is more than just a new way up the mountain. It's designed to improve access to Mt Perisher's slopes, reduce wait times, and increase the number of runs skiers and riders can enjoy in a day. The project, which began construction in late 2023, was completed on schedule thanks to favourable weather conditions and efficient teamwork between Perisher's crew and Doppelmayr engineers.This new chairlift takes riders to the highest lifted point in Australia, offering expanded access to Mt Perisher's terrain. The improved capacity and speed of the lift are expected to significantly enhance the overall experience for visitors, allowing for more time on the slopes and less time waiting in queues.
