Mt Baw Baw

Outdoor enthusiasts shouldn’t miss a visit to Mt Baw Baw in Victoria. In winter, the alpine resorts offer the chance to ski or snowboard, and hike along the scenic trails; with the entire terrain becoming a snow-filled wonderland.

Families with kids can enjoy snow tubing and toboggan rides. Novice and avid skiers will also find a multitude of things to see, do and enjoy. Those interested for a bit of snow fun can take a day trip or one of the early morning bus tours from Melbourne.

Bushwalking and cycling are also quite popular around the area in Summer months. Visitors can enjoy cycling up the tourist road or take the scenic trail to the nearby Baw Baw Village.

Groups often come here in summer to take the trail along the trickiest paths of Mt Baw Baw; with some sources claiming it’s the second hardest trail in the world. After reaching the top, the trail descends through the Baw Baw village and passes through West Gippsland and the Mornington Peninsula.

Mt Baw Baw is located a few hours east of the city, with driving or a tour bus the best options to get there.

  • Hi,
    My wife and I are interested in going to Mt. Baw Baw for the snow sightseeing on 28 August 2016. We are planning to stay in the Melbourne CBD, near Flinders St.
    We are not familiar with Mt. Baw Baw at all, so I have few queries:
    1. What is the entry charge to Mt Baw Baw for snow sightseeing?
    2. Is there any Sightseeing lift (something like what Mt Buller has) and how much does it cost?
    3. Is there service for renting jacket, pant and toboggan, and how much does it cost?
    4. Is there any food court or restaurant for lunch meal?
    Thank you

  • Hi. This is my first time guiding tour to Mt. Baw Baw. I would like to know how to assist my group to get to Mt. Baw Baw and how to go to the ski slope from the bus parking area. Is it the same as Mt. Buller where there is a shuttle bus that will pick us up and take us to the ski slope? Thankyou.
