**ITINERARY: **

We invite you to join us on thisscenic drive to this magical winter
wonderland. You can be sure that you are going to have an unforgettable
experience of action and adventure at this family-friendly snow mountain
resort. With its picturesque chalets overlooking the mountains and miles of
cross-country ski tracks and toboggan fields, Lake Mountain is Melbourne's
closest snow resort, which boasts a wide variety of cross-country ski trails
and toboggan fields. Make a snowman, go tobogganing, take a cross-country
skiing lesson, or just throw some snowballs around (Please note there will be
ticketed access to the Village toboggan run and Mini toboggan run, at guest's
own expense).

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.

Driving Distance: 240km.
