If you want to go skiing in the summer, be aware of the effects of altitude. Take it easy until you’ve acclimatized, drink plenty of water, and be prepared to go to a lower altitude if you have headaches or nausea.

The longest ski slope is an impressive 15 miles (25 kilometers) long.

Beginners and travelers with kids should head to Wolli Park, which is sheltered from the wind and has easy slopes, as well as play equipment.
