GETTING THERE

Nearest Airports

✈️
MEL
Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine)
About 4–5 hours
drive time

Approximate planning ranges; allow extra time for traffic and winter conditions.

Allow roughly 4–5 hours from Melbourne or around two hours from Albury, plus extra time for winter roads. Approach through Mount Beauty and the Bogong High Plains Road. Coaches and private transfers offer alternatives to driving.

Winter drivers need a separate resort-entry permit and correctly fitting snow chains. Lift tickets do not replace vehicle entry. Overnight guests should follow parking directions at the Accommodation Transfer Terminal, then walk or use a booked luggage transfer to their property. Confirm your lodge’s arrival arrangements, especially for late arrivals; village vehicle access depends on snow cover.
