Melbourne in July is the best time to embrace those frosty moments, then sit near a fire and welcome the warmth it brings. In all its icy glory and with temps ranging from 6°c to 13°c, it’s the perfect time to explore the snow-covered landscapes in and around Victoria.
If you and your loved ones are seeking a winter wonderland experience, the snow tours on offer to beautiful areas like Lake Mountain and Mt Buller give you an ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
A Wintery Treat
Mt Buller is located around three hours from the stunning city of Melbourne and is one of the most popular winter destinations in Australia.

Whether you’re a total pro or just a beginner, a tour to Mt Buller has something for everyone. The resort boasts a vast range of slopes that cater to every level of skill along with an awesome teacher just waiting for you to learn.
