Perisher has announced that a new, six-seater chairlift is on its way to Mt. Perisher and is expected to be ready for the 2025 Australian snow season.

Affectionately dubbed the "Mt. P 6", the highspeed detachable chairlift will replace the existing Mt Perisher Double and Triple chairs.

Soon to be the highest lifted point in Australia at 2042 metre elevation, the Mt Perisher 6 will provide greater connectivity between Perisher’s resort areas for skiers and snowboarders than ever before, allowing a choice between trails in all directions without needing to traverse. 

The new chair will almost halve the current travel time up Mt Perisher from 10 minutes to around five and a half minutes. Faster load and unload times at each end will also facilitate greater circulation and flow of traffic around the mountain.
