The youth travel brand is taking Aussies to hit up one of the biggest slopes in Australia, on a 5-day, 4-night ski adventure.

This winter, Contiki is hitting the slopes with its launch of the new Australian Ski Adventure, which is on sale now.

Despite the world being brought to a standstill, Contiki is striving to encourage millennials and Gen Z to keep the dream alive and plan out their next great local adventure.

Snow bunnies can get excited about a new trip that will have them tearing up the ski fields in the Snowy Mountains over five days and four nights in winter 2021.

Ski! Ski! Ski!

The ‘Australian Ski Adventure’ is on sale now for departures between July and September 2021, with prices starting from $999, with savings of up to 15%. 

Ski bunnies, outdoor addicts and travellers alike can hop on a Contiki from Sydney or Canberra to Jindabyne and return, stopping in Australia’s capital of Canberra to see the Parliament and visit the War Memorial.

Traveller’s will be staying at The Station Hotel in Jindabyne, which promises to offer a good time with a restaurant and bar on site with live music every night, pool table, video games… and the occasional guest-visit from local kangaroos on the property.

The recent Voice of a Generation survey found that most youths are craving unique experiences, with the opportunity for social travel, being the most important when choosing a domestic holiday

“We believe in the ‘power of our community of Aussies’ who are hungrier for travel and human interaction than ever before”, says Katrina Barry, Managing Director for Contiki in reference to the trip being created based off this pent-up demand, and the fact ski trips are among the most popular for Contiki. 

“It’s no surprise our travellers are looking for social interaction – with 77% wanting to travel domestically. And nothing screams SOCIAL, like a group adventure to the ski fields!”

A private coach will transfer guests to and from Perisher Ski Field for three days, along with a Contiki Trip Manager to have a great time on the slopes with.

In the evening, experience the snow under the stars with a Neon Night Ski and Board, i.e. grab your best neon gear and glide over the slopes for a memorable night out.

Inspired by the Alpine regions in Europe, this trip includes a check-in at the Wild Brumby Distillery for some locally made gin and schnapps; a three-day Kosciuszko National Park pass; and the option to get a birds-eye view of the mountains, chalet, Lake Jindabyne on a Snowy Mountain scenic flight.
