Our over 70’s season passes can be purchased online for unlimited access to all of Hotham, Falls Creek and Perisher's operating lifts for the winter season.

NEW for 2025: We’ve simplified our Beginner Bundle and added a new adult beginner carpet lift at the bottom of the Summit.

As part of the deal, you get:

  • 1-afternoon lift ticket 
  • 2-hour afternoon group lesson commencing at 1:30pm with our experienced ski and snowboard instructors. Lessons are reduced to 1 hour if the group participants are two or less due to the intimate and private nature.
  • Optional rental equipment add-on: ski or snowboard set, helmet, jacket and pants 

With our beginner carpet at the bottom of the Summit run, beginner skiers and snowboarders will be able to start their snow journey in a safe, protected environment supported by our world-class instructors, to gain confidence on the snow.

Don't forget to add a Mountain Access Card as you checkout.
