Getting to the snow shouldn’t be the hardest part of your day. This is a private door-to-door transfer to Mt Baw Baw for your group only — the comfortable, flexible alternative to pre-dawn coach pickups, crowded shuttle buses and rigid return times.

Your day begins with a scenic drive through Gippsland, including a relaxed coffee stop in Noojee and the opportunity to organise any last-minute snow gear before continuing into the alpine region.

Arriving at Mt Baw Baw, you’ll have several hours to enjoy the snow at your own pace — whether that’s tobogganing, building a snowman, skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing or simply taking in the crisp mountain air and alpine scenery.

As one of Victoria’s closest alpine resorts to Melbourne, Mt Baw Baw is a popular choice for families, couples and first-time snow visitors looking for an easy and enjoyable day in the snow.

If you’re looking for a larger alpine resort with more extensive ski terrain and village facilities, our Mt Buller private transfer may be a better fit.
