The Holiday Hotspots of High Country Victoria - Mansfield District
High Country Victoria isn’t a place you visit once — it’s a place you keep coming back to. With mountains, lakes, forests and alpine towns all within striking distance, this region delivers year-round adventure no matter the season. From snow to sun, dirt to water, these are the High Country holiday spots that define the No Off Season lifestyle.
Mansfield
Mansfield is the beating heart of the Victorian High Country — a true gateway town where snow trips, lake days and dirt adventures all begin. Surrounded by alpine ranges and sitting at the crossroads of multiple adventure zones, Mansfield blends small-town charm with big-terrain energy. It’s where riders refuel, families reset, and plans are made for whatever the conditions throw at you next.
Things to do & see:
- Base yourself for trips to Mt Buller, Lake Eildon and Jamieson
- Ride scenic alpine roads and bush trails
- Explore local cafés, pubs and markets
- Stock up on supplies before heading deeper into the High Country
- Visit Craigs Hut
Mount Buller
Mt Buller is iconic for a reason. In winter, it’s snow-covered and buzzing with skiers and snowboarders. In summer, it transforms into a high-altitude playground with alpine trails, wildflowers and crisp mountain air. The road up alone is worth the trip — winding, technical and loaded with views.
Things to do & see:
- Skiing and snowboarding in winter
- Mountain biking and hiking in warmer months
- Scenic chairlift rides and alpine lookouts
- Sunset views over the Victorian Alps
Lake Eildon
Lake Eildon is summer freedom at its finest. With endless shoreline, hidden bays and glassy mornings, it’s where the High Country swaps snow gear for wakeboards, skis and boats. Whether you’re camping by the water or launching from a ramp at dawn, Lake Eildon delivers long days and laid-back nights.
Things to do & see:
- Wakeboarding, waterskiing and tubing
- Boating, jetskiing and fishing
- Lakeside camping and BBQs
- Sunset sessions on the water
Jamieson
Jamieson is raw High Country soul. Tucked along the Jamieson River and surrounded by mountains, it’s quieter, slower and deeply connected to the land. This is where campfires burn longer, roads feel more remote, and the noise of everyday life fades out completely.
Things to do & see:
- Bush camping along the Jamieson River
- Four-wheel driving and trail riding
- Fishing, swimming and relaxing by the water
- Riding scenic routes toward Woods Point and beyond
No Off Season — Just Different Gear
Snow in winter. Water in summer. Dirt all year round.
The beauty of High Country Victoria is that there’s always something to do, no matter the forecast. Mansfield, Mt Buller, Lake Eildon and Jamieson aren’t just destinations — they’re different chapters of the same adventure.
This is where the XOSN lifestyle lives. No Off Season. Just Different Gear.
