Private Snow Tour From Melbourne - Up to 14 Travellers

About this tour

Escape Melbourne's suburbs for a tailor-made winter expedition to Victoria's alpine peaks. This private tour whisks groups of up to 14 through the high country—Mt Buller's gentle slopes, Mt Hotham's serious terrain, or Lake Mountain paired with Yarra Valley wineries. Your own driver navigates the mountain roads while you handle the itinerary: stop where you want, stay as long as you like. Ten to fifteen hours door-to-door means genuine altitude time, not a rushed tick-box.

Highlights

• Choose your mountain: Buller, Hotham, or Hotham-plus-wine combo
• Private van with professional driver—no crowded tour groups
• Custom route with photographer stops and scenic pullouts
• Resort entry and transport included; skip the self-drive stress
• Suitable for families, fitness levels, and infants with seats

What to expect

You'll be picked up from central Melbourne early morning in a spacious, air-conditioned Mercedes van. The drive climbs steadily; forests thicken, temperature drops, and snow appears. Once at your chosen resort, you're free to explore at your pace—tobogganing, snowball fights, or café breaks. Your driver knows the back roads and photo spots. If you've selected the Yarra Valley option, you'll swing through vineyards en route, stopping at cellar doors (tastings at your own cost). The return journey retraces the mountain drive with afternoon light softening the peaks. Bring layers and expect wind at altitude.

Good to know

Snow gear hire isn't included but your driver stops at rental outfits—book ahead if you're picky. Roads are well-maintained but chains or 4WD tyres required mid-winter. Infants have dedicated seats. This suits everyone, regardless of fitness, since there's no mandatory hiking or skiing.
