Winter in Bright? Yes, It’s Worth the Trip!
You might think Bright isn’t a winter destination—but you’d be surprised. Despite the chill, there’s so much to do in Bright during winter, and it’s a magical time to visit.
Hit the Slopes
Looking for snow fun? You’re in the perfect location. Spend the day skiing or snowboarding at Mount Hotham or Falls Creek, or take the family for sledding and snow play at Mount Buffalo.
Don’t want to drive up to Hotham? No problem! A daily snow bus departs from Harrietville, just a short drive away. You can also grab a multi-mountain ski pass and explore both Hotham and Falls Creek during your stay.
