Lake Mountain
Lake Mountain is ideal for beginners, families with kids and anyone who would like to have a gentle introduction to the joys of snow play. Located just two hours drive from Melbourne, Lake Mountain is a safe and fun place to go snow. Lake Mountain Alpine Village has a lot of options for those who want to do some tobogganing and build a snowman.
Our Lake Mountain Snow Tour will generally depart from Melbourne at 8 AM and spend the day in the snow. Return to Melbourne is around 6 PM. This allows for a full day immersed in the snowy landscape of Lake Mountain, engaging in activities like tobogganing and snow play. With the day packed with fun and exploration, the return journey to Melbourne is scheduled, aiming for an approximate 6 PM arrival, concluding a day filled with memorable winter experiences.
Mount Baw Baw
Located less than 3 hours from Melbourne, Mt. Baw Baw is nestled in the Baw Baw National Park and has an authentic snow village feel to it. Bigger than Lake Mountain, Mt. Baw Baw is the best option for families, beginners and people who would like a more peaceful snow experience. We call this one “Alpine Chic” and love how relaxed and easy going this snow day feels. For families with children, it is easier to enjoy the slower pace and snow play at Mt. Baw Baw than at other snow destinations.
Mt. Baw Baw offers many gentle runs for beginners and intermediate visitors, while its toboggan areas are well-maintained. Cross-country trails are also available for those looking to do some snowshoeing. There is on-site hire equipment, cafes and restaurants, and a whole alpine village feel to Mt. Baw Baw. Guests looking for a peaceful and enjoyable day in the snow without the crowds of other resorts will enjoy Mt. Baw Baw. Mt. Baw Baw Snow Tour will generally depart from Melbourne at 7 AM and return at 8 PM. With ample time in the snow for you to ski, toboggan, play in the snow or do what you want, Mt. Baw Baw Snow Tour is one of the best for beginners and families who want a peaceful day in the snow.
Mount Buller
Mount Buller is the best for skiing enthusiasts and those who want to get adventurous with their snow experience.
Mt. Buller is a little further away from Melbourne but offers a much wider range of options for skiing runs, tobogganing and snow play.
From green to black runs, you will find something for every level at Mt. Buller. You will also find a large village and numerous places to grab a bite and a coffee. From cosy cafes to lively bars, you will find what you are looking for at Mt. Buller.
Our Mt Buller Day Snow Tour will generally depart from Melbourne at 7 AM and return around 9 PM. With an entire day on the mountain for you to explore and enjoy, you will get to ski, toboggan and enjoy the snow season to your heart’s content.
In addition to our private tours, the Mount Buller Group Tour is also available on a daily basis. This small-group experience is limited to a maximum of 10 people, ensuring a more comfortable, personal, and flexible day in the snow. It’s a great option for solo travellers, couples, or small groups who prefer a shared adventure without the crowds. With fewer people on board, you’ll enjoy a smoother journey, more time on the slopes, and plenty of space to soak in the stunning alpine surroundings.
