Charlotte Pass is Australia's first ski resort, established in the early 1900's, it is also Australia's highest resort with a base elevation of 1760m. Charlotte Pass is unique for a number of reasons, it is the only snowbound resort in Australia, with access during the season by oversnow transport from Perisher Valley the only way in! Charlotte Pass also owns the record for the lowest temperature ever recorded in Australia -23 degrees Celsius.
The isolation of the resort is its main appeal with a maximum of 607 guests at any given time there are rarely if ever major lift lines to worry about. With genuine on snow accommodation all lodges offer ski in ski out accommodation and magnificent views. Despite only having 5 lifts (1 chair, 1 T bar, 2 pomas and a rope tow) there is a surprising amount of skiing to be had with 2 lifts to the main ridge line of the bowl you can choose from fast groomed trails, tree skiing or even some chutes!
Charlotte Pass offers unparalled access to the main range and so is an excellent base for cross country skiing. During summer its position allows access to some of NSWs best high country walks, to Kosciusko, Blue Lake and a whole lot more.
