Handy Travel Tips

There are a few stairs within our Chalet to your room, please keep this in mind when packing your bags!

Bring waterproof & wind proof suitable ski clothing – layers of clothing is the best option, & waterproof ski gloves, hats (beanies), neck warmers & goggles. Check clothing for "ratings" which means how wind & waterproof clothing is eg: a 5000 - 10,000 wind & water rating is generally acceptable for Australia.

Consider obtaining thermal underwear – you will appreciate them & their benefits. Your equipment for the chosen activity - skiing, boarding or other. We provide ski locks for boards & ski's for use at the Eiger Chalet for overnight storage. We suggest purchasing your own lock for use on the Mountain. Unfortunately, it is common for ski's, boards & equipment to get lost, mixed up &/or stolen while out on the mountain. Check your travel insurance to see if you would be covered in case of theft.

Obtain approved rated sunglasses for everyone – in particularly children. Bring or hire waterproof footwear /Après Boots– eg: leather hiking boots (high tops) or snow boots. Running shoes/joggers are not suitable for walking in deep snow. Snow falls over 5cm will go straight into the runners & your feet will be wet!

If you have purchased an online ski hire package from Perisher, please read the conditions as some hire packages stipulate they have to be collected from Bullocks Flat (located at the base of the skitube). Some packages only provide access to certain parts of the mountain.

Protecting yourself & family from variable weather elements:

Sunscreen & lip balm – Factor 30 or higher & re-apply on all family / friends several times per day The reflection from the snow plus the high altitude makes sunburn & windburn exceptionally likely even in overcast weather The weather (sun & wind) is more harsh / damaging than being at the beach!!!!

Skiing is a high activity sport so water bottles are a great suggestion to re-hydrate Once all of the above equipment has been collected, a small back pack to carry the equipment or place in a locker is a great recommendation
