Snowshoe Rambles

There are a number of marked snowshoe ramble tracks on the plateau - these may vary but are clearly marked with snowshoe trail signage (see photos). Please avoid snowshoeing on groomed cross country ski trails as this damages the snow and may injurer a skier. Where there are shared trails snowshoe on the left-hand side on the hike out (single file please) and if returning on the same track use the same side (Now the right-hand side of the trail).

Unless you're an experienced snow season snowshoe hiker the best options are to use well-marked trails. Venture too far from the car and your risk losing the trail due to snow covering the trail and when it is snowing your tracks can be quickly filled in. This can be dangerous in an alpine environment. Fortunately, there are many locations and short snowshoe walks on Mount Buffalo that offer incredible beauty just metres from the road or car park.

Most of the higher hiking trails on the plateau are suitable for snowshoe rambles including:

Many longer walking trails are also great for experienced snowshoe hikers such as:

- South Buffalo Track

- Long Plain Track

- Reservoir road

- Dixons Falls Walking Track

There is a wide range of backcountry unmarked areas for snowshoe hiking including:

- The Valley of the Gods

- The Devils Playground

- Le Souef Plateau
