About this tour
Escape Melbourne's urban sprawl for a private alpine adventure into Victoria's snow country. Your own driver navigates you to Mt Buller, Mt Hotham, or Lake Mountain—whichever suits your group's appetite for winter play or serious slopes. Ten to fifteen hours of mountain time, from your doorstep to the peaks and back, tailored to your pace. Up to fourteen of you fit comfortably in the van; families, mates, whoever wants the day.

What to expect
You'll be picked up from Melbourne CBD or nearby, then settle into a spacious, air-conditioned van with a professional driver who knows the mountain roads. The drive to the snowfields takes a few hours depending on destination; use it to relax, chat, or watch the landscape shift from suburbs to foothills to proper alpine terrain. Once you reach your chosen resort, entry is sorted. Expect time to play in the snow, hit a run if you ski or board, walk around, take photos. The driver will suggest scenic spots or meal breaks. Return journey mirrors the outbound; you'll be back in Melbourne late afternoon or early evening.
Good to know
