ITINERARY:

We drive right up to the snow, so there is no need to take any lifts or transfer buses to get to the snow. On the mountain, you'll have 3 hours to take in the beauty and revel in the snow play, jump on the thrilling tube run, experience exhilarating toboggan rides, and enjoy the wide network of world-class cross-country ski trails or hike up to the summit views. As part of the experience, guests will have the opportunity to support locals and buy something for lunch at Beechworth Bakery in Healesville or while on the mountain (at the guest's own expense).

We will then visit some of Victoria's tallest waterfalls, Steavenson Waterfalls in Marysville, before stopping off at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery to get your taste buds tingling. The perfect way to end the day is with a deliciously smooth Hot Chocolate or some of their locally infused ice-cream flavoured with ingredients sourced directly from the kitchen garden. For those who have never been to a snowy destination before, this is an excellent winter wonderland escape.
