Begin your alpine adventure with early-morning coach departures from Melbourne and Ringwood, settling in for a comfortable ride through the Yarra Valley and High Country.

Pause in Mansfield, a gateway town where you can warm up with coffee and hire your snow gear before the mountain climb.

Arrive at Mt Buller with resort entry included, and spend five to six hours on the slopes, in the snow play areas, or exploring the alpine village.

Choose your own pace: tackle black runs, practice on beginner slopes, toboggan with the kids, or simply relax in cafés overlooking the peaks.

At day’s end, regroup with your driver-guide and return to Melbourne, carrying home the crisp air, snowy vistas, and memories of Victoria’s premier alpine escape.
