Marysville's Cookbook: Lake Mountain Alpine Resort – or more correctly

(I don't normally discuss other things, but Lake Mountain Green Activities is benefiting the Community and creating employment, so I thought it fit to post here)

In January 2012, I was lucky enough to win tickets (via Facebook) to visit Lake Mountain for their summer activities. Lake Mountain is 30 minutes from Marysville and is known for its skiing, during winter and the rest of the year mainly motorbikes and cyclists, but now you have the opportunity to enjoy Lake Mountain all year round with the introduction of summer activities.

Check out the ‘Green Activities’ Page for Lake Mountain http://lakemountainresort.com.au/summer/adventure-activities

There was live music, activities for young and old, hot coffee or cool drinks depending on the day and the views are amazing. You can do something as simple as enjoying the view and seeing the bushfire devastated area regenerate, whilst listening to live music.

The young children can colour in or play on the HUGE inflated dinosaur wonderland. The older kids can enjoy the flying fox or go with a (licensed) adult in the dune buggies OR all-terrain vehicles, travelling with a guide and getting VERY dirty in the process! Or if you're game enough, there is a circuit JUST for children to enjoy driving their own dune buggy. (suitable for 7yrs and up)

All safety equipment is provided and the fun to be had is fantastic.

The cost of tickets includes EVERYTHING and not just one turn, BUT as many turns as you would like. You can buy tickets through the website http://lakemountainresort.com.au/prices/green-season-activities

Take the kids, take the family, enjoy a picnic on the mountain or eat at the café.

Check out some of the views and fun had by my family!

Some things to remember:-

Operating Hours-Activities run on weekends, school holidays and public holidays (excluding Anzac day) from 9am to 5pm

You need to bring: closed toed footwear, long trousers and your old clobber is a good idea for running through the bush in a skirmish and on the ATV”s….and don’t forget to slip, slop, slap.

Clean clothes a MUST – It’s all part of the fun

Pre-purchased tickets are cheaper, than buying on the mountain. You can book your tickets here http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/Lake-Mountain-Alpine-Resort-tickets/artist/1604088

There is no gate fee to enter the Park, only to partake in the activities

Enjoy!
