Mount Buffalo National Park is about 320 km north-east of Melbourne via the Hume Freeway and Great Alpine Road. Allow about four hours drive time. Approach the park by the winding but sealed entrance road from Porepunkah, near Bright.

During winter, snow blankets the plateau and Mount Buffalo National Park becomes a stunning winter wonderland. The park offers safe and accessible cross-country skiing, tobogganing and snow play areas set amidst the spectacular granite landscape of Mount Buffalo plateau. A designated toboggan run operates over winter at either Dingo Dell or Cresta Valley depending on the altitude of snowfalls.

There are 11 km of cross-country skiing terrain offering a network of groomed and marked trails catering for skiers of all ages and abilities, cross-country skiing lessons are available.  There are three main groomed trails around Cresta Valley, the 1km, 4km and Horn Rd. The 6km loop is also a popular ungroomed trail.  There is a further 20 km of remote, unmarked trails, and almost unlimited off-track backcountry ski touring.

Walk or ski-in winter camping is available at Lake Catani campground or remote camping at Mount McLeod, bookings are essential by telephoning the Mount Buffalo Entrance Station on (03) 5756 2328.
