All vehicles entering a Victorian Alpine Resorts during the declared winter season (June 8th – October 6th for 2024) must pay a resort entry fee. Outside of the declared season, resort entry is not required at Lake Mountain.
A resort entry ticket is required for entering the resort to cover essential services such as Ski Patrol, Snow Clearing, Snow Making, Trail Grooming, Guest Services and more.
As Lake Mountain Alpine Resort is a day resort, the entry gate is closed between the hours of 4.30pm & 8am.
Your resort entry pass will provide you with access to the resort from 8am to 4pm however, you must enter the resort before 3pm as resort entry tickets cannot be purchased after this time.
PURCHASE AT THE GATE ON THE DAY
You may purchase your resort entry ticket at the gate on the day via EFTPOS if there are tickets available.
PRE-PURCHASE ONLINE PRIOR
You can pre-purchase your resort entry ticket online via our website prior to arrival. The benefit of pre-purchasing online is that it elevates the risk of missing out on the day if we are ‘sold out’ once the carparks have been filled. If pre-purchasing online, you will be emailed your resort entry ticket which you must show upon entering on the day. (It is best to download your ticket or screenshot it as there is no phone reception at the resort entry gate)
Here at Lake Mountain, snow or wheel chains are not required unless it has been declared a “chain day”.
For declared chain days, all 2WD vehicles must carry chains until advised to fit by Lake Mountain staff. Those entering the resort in 4WD or AWD vehicles do not require wheel chains however, you must know how to engage the 4WD or AWD setting if required.

No, pets of any kind are not permitted at the resort as we are a protected Alpine Environment.
Resort entry tickets are only required during the declared snow season (June 8th to October 6th 2024).
Resort Entry tickets can be purchased at the gate on the day or pre-purchased online via our website.
Lake Mountain Alpine Resort is subject to closure once the car parks have reached full capacity. This generally occurs over the weekends during the Victorian School Holiday period. To avoid disappointment during these high demand days, we recommend pre-purchasing your resort entry ticket online a few days prior as there will be no tickets available to purchase on the day if the carparks have been filled. Once filled, entry will be based on a 1 in 1 out system which can involve an extended wait time of several hours.
By car, we suggest allowing between 2 and 2.5 hours when travelling from Melbourne CBD.

Pronounced TO-BOG-GAN, a long light and narrow plastic-moulded sled (a vehicle that slides over snow) sometimes curved up in front, used for sliding down slopes. It’s a lot of fun!
At Lake Mountain, we have our main village toboggan run and a couple other toboggan runs depending on snow conditions. For more information on tobogganing, you can read our tobogganing safety tips article here.
