At an elevation of 1245 metres, Mt Donna Buang summit offers panoramic views over Melbourne, theYarra Valley, Dandenongs and Cathedral Ranges, Mount Baw Baw and the Alps from a 21 metre high lookout tower.

In winter the summit turns to snowplay and offers the closest and most accessible snow to Melbourne for family snow-play and tobogganing. When there is snow a fee is charged for entry to the mountain with toboggan hire and hot food usually available at the summit gate. Car parking is available at the summit through the day, however the summit gate is locked in the evening and when there is snow. At these times car parking is available at the gate and the summit can be accessed by a 300 metre walk along the road.

While on the mountain, visitors can also take in a rainforest experience and even walk through the tree tops at the spectacular Rainforest Gallery featuring a 17 metre high, 40 metre long aerial walkway which brings visitors into contact with giant 250-300 year old 60 metre tall mountain ash trees. You can also stroll among the forest giants on a elevated boardwalk for 300 metres.
