KOSCIUSKO
CHALETYou will be instantly taken with the magical charm of the Chalet. The Chalet history is fascinating - it is the birthplace of modern skiing in Australia and has played a huge role in this industry since the 1930's. The Chalet has several cosy lounges with blazing log fires, along with two bars, a gift shop, a resident masseuse to soothe those aching muscles and Goodtimes Photography to capture all those fine moments.
The Chalet shop carries a selection of ski accessories: Socks, gloves, hats, sunglasses, goggles, skivvies etc. There is a large range of confectionery, toiletries, souvenirs, paperbacks, magazines, newspapers, and some food items. We also stock factor 30+ sunscreen. Ski and Snowboard accessories can be purchased from the Charlotte Pass Ski Hire. Clothing Hire is not available in the Charlotte Pass Village.

The Chalet Entertainment starts on Monday with our famous "meet the instructor" where you can sample some of the village's finest Gluhwein and socialise in our famous Charlotte Adams bar (named after the first woman to conquer Mt.

Use plenty of 15+ sunscreen, as well as a peaked cap. UV rays are very strong in the higher altitudes, even on cloudy days. It can get very cold, sometimes down to around minus 20°C (at night). You can also become very hot whilst skiing. It is always a good idea to bring some lighter clothing such as a windcheater and longsleeve T-shirts for sunny days, particularly in spring. Sunglasses for fine weather and goggles for inclement weather or flat light are also a must for both adults and children. Snowblindness can occur if glasses or goggles are not worn.
