Lake Mountain
Snow Adventures

The journey begins

They say that every journey begins with a single step, in the case of your Lake Mountain adventure; it begins with a stunning drive through the Mountain Ash forest of the famous Black Spur road.

Shortly after you will arrive at the idyllic mountain town of Marysville, where you will find endless options to fuel the team with quality coffee, pastries and other energy giving goodies.

The preparation

With just a short and spectacular drive up the mountain from Marysville, you will find yourself at the resort carpark. Your options now are to seek out more food and coffee or head straight to the equipment rental department, where the friendly team will fit you out with all the snow gear and equipment you need for the day.

Snow fun time!

Now you are ready for the action! Take turns sliding at high-speed down the groomed toboggan runs, head off to the snow play areas to build a snowman, practice your snow-angel technique and be the last person standing in a snow ball fight!!

For those with that extra level of energy, there are more than 30km of ski trails winding through the pristine alpine landscape accessible to those with cross-country skis or snow-shoes.

Your day's end reward

All that fun deserves a good hearty pub meal.  Head back down to Marysville and grab yourself a table at The Duck Inn.

The Duck Inn has all the markings of a traditional pub, but with a twist. In addition to towering burgers and the classic pub parma, you will find asian fusion dishes like spicy soy-braised pork belly and a sizzling plate of wok stir-fried veggies with your choice of protein.

Make the most of Marysville

With a range of boutique retail stores, a bakery, lolly shop and arts & craft, Marysville is worth a day out just by itself.

And with accommodation options such as the Tower Motel offering comfortable deluxe suites for couples and families, it’s so easy to make your Lake Mountain visit a multi-day adventure.
