Wheel Chains

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.

Any guests hiring a vehicle to enter the resort must understand if it is a 2WD, 4WD or AWD and if wheel chains are able to be fitted to the vehicle as per the hiring terms and conditions set by the car hiring business.

Wheel chains must be hired in town prior to entering the resort. If it is a chain day and you arrive in a 2WD without wheel chains, you will be turned around at the resort entry gate. Wheel chains are available for hire in Marysville, Narbethong and the Black Spur. It is extremely important that you understand how to fit the wheel chains prior to arriving to the resort, as Lake Mountain staff are unable to assist with the fitting process. 

If a declared chain day has been announced, this information will be available on the header of our website, along with yellow traffic signs as you enter into the town of Marysville on the day.
