Snow Skiing

Snow Sports

Many of our guests during winter time are looking for some fun in the snow. Which might simply mean taking their young family to the relatively protected Alpine Plateau of Mount Buffalo where they can experience gentle introduction to skiing, both cross country and down hill and tobogganning at a price that is more affordable compared to the full on resorts of Mt Hotham or Falls Creek, however the broad intermediate slopes of Falls Creek and the challenging gullies of Mt Hotham, will definitely provide greater excitement for the more advanced skier.

All three snow destinations are within an hour to 1.5 hours from Valley Homestead. After a 7am breakfast with us you can be on the slopes by 9am. And you have the luxury of choosing, on the day, which mountain you want or even if you would prefer to stay in the valley if the weather is blizzarding on the slopes.
 
We can provide you with all the details to do with equipment and where to get it, chain hire, mountain entry, weather forecasts and advice on the suitability of the runs (for your skill level) on each of the mountains.

If you prefer to experience the pristine stillness and quiet of the bush under snow, away from the clamour of the tows and runs, you can hire our snow shoes and venture out amongst the snow gums and rocky terrain of Mount Buffalo. Choose a sunny day and picnic in idyllic surroundings.
