Recreation and Tourism

Victoria's Alpine Resorts

Victoria's six Alpine Resorts lie predominantly between 120 kilometres and 380 kilometres to the northeast of Melbourne. The focus of the resorts is on snow-based recreation activities, in particular downhill and cross-country skiing. The Alpine Resorts are popular in the non-winter seasons for recreation activities such as bush walking and horse-riding. The Tourism Victoria website contains information on visiting Victoria's Alpine Resorts. Each of the resorts is bordered by a national park which provides important recreation opportunities for resort based visitors. These national parks are managed by Parks Victoria.

Alpine Resorts 2020 Strategy

The Alpine Resorts are Crown land reserves each managed by its own Resort Management Board appointed by the Minister for Environment. The Department of Sustainability and Environment is responsible for advising the Minister on alpine issues and supporting and assisting the Resort Management Boards on matters affecting all or multiple resorts.
