Snow Adventures

Snowboard Jump

Bright is a great base for a snow adventure whether your choice is skiing (cross-country or down-hill), snowboarding or just having fun in the snow.

The resorts of Falls Creek, Mt Hotham and Mt Buffalo are just over one hour's drive from Bright. You can hire gear (skis, boards, boots, jackets, pants, helmets) in Bright, but bring your own warm clothes and gloves.

Falls Creek

Falls Creek is the largest ski area in Victoria with plenty of progressive terrain that is well suited to mixed ability groups.  It also has a terrain park and some black runs for more experienced enthusiasts.​

Mt Hotham

Mt Hotham is regarded as the powder capital of Australia and has some steeper runs than Falls Creek, but a good beginner area near the village.  At 1750m this is Australia’s highest resort.  With exhilarating extreme runs plus good groomers is it well suited to intermediate to advanced riders and skiers. 

Dinner Plain, just 10km beyond Hotham on the Great Alpine Road is a good Winter destination for cross-country skiing, tobogganing and snow play. 

Mt Buffalo

Mt Buffalo has 10km of marked and 20km of unmarked cross county trails and is a good location for family snow fun.

Winter Resort Access

In Winter all vehicles driving to the ski resorts are required to carry snow chains. Chains can be hired in Bright, Harrietville, Myrtleford and Mt Beauty.

Also all vehicles entering both Falls Creek and Mt Hotham Alpine Resorts during the declared snow season are required to pay a resort entry fee.
