Experience a magical winter escape on the 1 Day Lake Mountain Snow & Waterfalls Tour – the perfect day trip from Melbourne that combines snow-filled fun, breathtaking scenery, and a hint of indulgence!

Highlights

  • Cruise through the scenic Yarra Valley wine region
  • Play in the snow at Melbourne’s closest alpine resort
  • Enjoy tobogganing and snowy fun with the family
  • Take a refreshing walk to Steavenson Falls
  • Treat yourself at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie

Just a short drive from the city, Lake Mountain is Melbourne’s closest snow resort and a family-friendly alpine wonderland packed with fun for all ages!

With charming chalets, dedicated toboggan fields, and an extensive network of cross-country ski trails, it’s an ideal spot to dive into the snow—whether that’s building a snowman, zooming down the toboggan run (ticketed access), or having a good old-fashioned snowball fight.

There’s no faffing about with lifts or transfers—your transport takes you right up to the resort, giving you three full hours to enjoy the snow, try the thrilling tube run, or take in the views on a peaceful summit hike.

You’ll also have the chance to grab a bite at the iconic Beechworth Bakery in Healesville or on the mountain itself, supporting local businesses along the way. The day doesn’t end there, though.

After your snowy adventure, you’ll visit Steavenson Falls in Marysville, one of Victoria’s tallest and most beautiful waterfalls, especially stunning against the crisp winter backdrop. To wrap it all up, there’s a stop at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery, where you can treat yourself to a steaming hot chocolate or indulge in a scoop (or two) of locally crafted ice cream.

Whether it’s your first time seeing snow or you’re after a relaxed wintery day packed with variety, this tour offers a brilliant mix of action, nature, and sweet treats—all in one easy, unforgettable trip!
