Located in Banjo Paterson Park, the chairlift beside the lakefront with majestic views of Lake Jindabyne. It's a great spot for visitors and locals to take a break, snap a pic, and enjoy the new big thing in NSW.

This locally-built landmark celebrates the adventurous heart of Jindabyne. It reflects the town's connection to snow sports, tourism, and the creative energy that continues to shape the region. Every detail, from its size to its placement, has been thoughtful to ensure a lasting icon for the Jindabyne.

Access is easy. A wide, all-abilities concrete path leads straight from the nearby carpark to the installation, making it welcoming for everyone, including prams, wheelchairs, and those enjoying a gentle walk along the lake foreshore.

The Big Chairlift offers a unique and playful way to connect with Jindabyne's stories. Sit, soak up and capture a little piece of the magic that makes this mountain town so special.
