With the closest snow to Melbourne (2 hour drive from Melbourne), our little mountain is the easiest way to let your kids enjoy the fun of building a snowman or tobogganing down a slope. It’s a great big day for your children as they experience snow for either the first time or they could be experienced snow bunnies, either way every kid has a smile from ear to ear on Lake Mountain. Your kids days will be full of snow play, which includes our kid friendly toboggan run, a big time favourite for the little ones.
