Melbourne in July

Lucy Pascual
January 28, 2024

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. July is the perfect month to experience the pristine snow-covered mountains on a tour, which are ideal for skiing, snowboarding or just soaking in an environment that gives you a new perspective on the land downunder.

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.

If you’re looking for something beyond skiing and snowboarding, Mt Buller offers an exciting but cosy village atmosphere with plenty of things to see and do. Warm yourself up with a hot chocolate at one of the quaint cafés, or maybe a warm hearty meal at one of the many mountaintop restaurants.

If you’re looking for a family-friendly snow experience, Lake Mountain is another one of the fantastic destinations. Located just two hours from Melbourne, Lake Mountain is known for its picturesque scenery and gentle slopes. Melbourne in July transforms this alpine area into a snow-covered paradise and a Lake Mountain tour is the best way to see it.

Frosty Fun

July in Melbourne is all about celebrating winter. The city has a number of winter events, like the Winter Night Market, the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces event at the National Gallery of Victoria and Lightscape at the Botanic Gardens. For even more, our Things To Do in Melbourne page has plenty of amazing activities.
