Get your winter coat on and head to Mt Buller on a fantastic day out in the snow.
Spend the day skiing. The closest snow field to Melbourne, Mt. Buller, has something to offer everyone. Build a snowman with the kids, go tobogganing, or buy a lift ticket for sightseeing and go skiing or snowboarding (schedule your lessons in advance). Get a lift ticket and ski for the whole six hours if you’re an expert. You can enjoy a variety of relaxing cafes, restaurants, and pubs as well.
