HIGHWAY ALPINE CLUB

Highway Alpine is a ski lodge in Perisher, NSW. We also have an apartment in Nelson Bay, NSW. Ski Lodge Accommodation in Perisher Valley... Highway Alpine Club's Perisher Lodge received its first guests in winter 1964 during the famed bumper season! The building was designed by Gunar Braccs, a founding member and architect employed by the Electricity Commission of NSW... Access to the lodge in winter was via a shuttle bus from the Sawpit Creek carpark, (now the Park entry pay station) and Smiggins Holes where you transferred into a snow cat which in most cases dropped you off at Ben Bullen, as the heavy Bombardier or Nodwells regularly got bogged in the deep snow that built up across the back of the lodges along Wheatly Ridge. From Ben Bullen you dragged your suitcases along or sunk into the thigh deep snow while struggling under the weight of a backpack to reach the lodge, sometimes having to make several trips.
