Victorian Ski Resorts |
Victoria has ten alpine locations for activities including skiing, snowboarding, toboggan and cross-country trails, snow tubing and family fun.
Discover the magic and excitement of Victoria's snow resorts this winter. Cut up the slopes on skis, snowboards and toboggans, wind your way along spectacular cross-country trails, and gear up for snow-mobile rides, sunset tours and family fun.
The ski resorts are spread in an area northeast of Melbourne around the Alpine and Mount Buffalo national parks.

Lake Mountain
The closest to Melbourne, after Mount Donna Buang is Lake Mountain which is known as Australia's premier cross-country ski resort and the third most visited cross-country alpine resort in the world. Lake Mountain is some 120 kilometres from the heart of Melbourne and is reached through the town of Marysville.
There is no on-mountain accommodation available at Lake Mountain, as the facility is for day visitors only. The gate will be locked from 4 pm every night, so visitors will have to make their way down the hill to Marysville before lockout at 4 pm.

Close to Melbourne, it has a village atmosphere and a large number of club lodges.

Mount Buffalo
Mount Buffalo, which is the closest to the Victoria-New South Wales border at Albury, through Wangaratta, is another area popular with families. Its slopes range from gentle, and ideal for beginner skiers, through to fun intermediate areas, with just a couple of advanced areas to keep skiers, including cross-country skiers, challenged.
