What to expect
You'll depart Melbourne in a small heated group vehicle and head uphill into snow country. At Lake Mountain, hire whatever gear you need on the day (toboggan, boots, clothing) and spend several hours playing in the snow—whether that's bombing down the toboggan runs, trudging through quiet woodland, or carving cross-country trails if you've sorted skis beforehand. The drive includes a break at Steavenson Waterfall for a short walk, then later you'll pull into the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie to sample and browse. Expect winding roads, variable snow cover, and the driver handling navigation so you can relax between stops.
