About this tour
This 15-hour full-day adventure departs [Melbourne](/places/melbourne) before dawn and takes you through the Yarra Valley and Victorian High Country to Mount Buller, one of Australia's most established alpine resorts. You'll have over five hours to spend on the snowfields doing whatever appeals: carving down slopes, toboganning, or simply wandering the winter landscape. The drive itself is spectacular, and a stop in Mansfield lets you sort kit hire before heading up the mountain.

- Two dedicated toboggan parks for all ability levels
- Drive through Yarra Valley and High Country scenery
- Equipment hire stop en route in Mansfield
- Air-conditioned coach transport from Melbourne

What to expect
You'll leave Melbourne early and spend the first portion of your day driving through rural Victoria, passing through wine country and into the mountains. The scenery builds as you climb toward Mansfield, where you can organise rentals for skis, snowboards, or snow boots before continuing to the resort. Once at Mount Buller, the afternoon and early evening are yours to navigate as you wish. Whether you're a confident skier, a complete beginner wanting to toboggan, or someone keen to experience alpine terrain on foot, there's no set itinerary—just open mountain time. The return journey to Melbourne takes place in the late afternoon.
