What to expect

You'll be driven from Melbourne to Lake Mountain in a modern coach, arriving with time to play freely in the snow. Bring warm layers and plan to toboggan, build snowmen, or simply explore the white landscape—hire costs are separate. After lunch at the resort café, you'll travel the winding Black Spur road, a narrow scenic drive hemmed by tall mountain ash and ferns, into the town of Marysville. A short walk brings you to Steavenson Falls, where water tumbles down a steep rocky face framed by forest. The return drive reaches Melbourne by late afternoon.

Good to know

Tobogganing is extra. The resort café serves hot food and drinks but expect queues on busy snow days. Dress in layers—temperatures drop sharply at altitude. Not suitable if pregnant or with cardiovascular concerns. Infant seats available on request.
