Action aplenty on Victoria’s snow fields
Victoria’s alpine resorts boast some of Australia’s best downhill and cross country trails, world class terrain parks and a multitude of activities including snow-shoeing, dog sledding and luxury day spas. Whether snow-goers choose to jump on a snowboard, snap on some skis, or stick to on-foot adventures, there is something for everyone to enjoy – all within driving distance of Melbourne.
Kicked off on the Queen’s Birthday long weekend (6 June), the launch of the snow season was celebrated at all the state’s major resorts. Here’s a rundown of what will take place throughout the season:
- Mt Buller of Victoria's snow fields
Mt Buller & Mt Stirling
The state’s most popular resort, Mt Buller is a three-hour drive north-east of Melbourne – close enough for a day trip and far enough to feel a world away from city-life.
Boasting an array of facilities for snow-lovers of all ages and persuasions, Mt Buller is a non-stop winter playground with off-slope activities ranging from a ski-in cinema, sculpture walk, dog-sledding, snow-shoeing and snowgaining (i.e. high altitude orienteering).
- Mt Buller Tobogganing Fun at Victoria's snow fields
To celebrate the launch of the season, the resort offered free entertainment, including live music and fireworks. Film festivals, the Mt Buller Adventure Race and themed events such as an ’80s Day ensured the fun times continue throughout the season.
Australia’s highest-altitude day spa, Breathtaker on High awaits those seeking some relaxation after a day on the slopes, while more than 30 on-mountain eateries, including a new Asian food court at the Mt Buller Chalet Hotel, helped to keep snow bunnies powered up all day long. To cap off the perfect snow session, the mountain’s many bars and clubs pumped out the tunes well into the evening.
