Getting to Baw Baw

Snow Chains

It is required by law to carry chains when travelling to Mount Baw Baw.

Chains must be carried during the declared snow season regardless of snow conditions.

Diamond pattern chains are preferable due to the steep gradient of the access road.

Chain Hire is not available at the Resort - you will be denied access to the Resort if you do not have wheel chains so be sure to plan ahead.

Upon entry to the Resort, you will be directed by Mountain Staff where and when to fit your chains. Depending on the snowfall this generally takes place once you have passed the Gate Entry. It is your responsibility to know how to fit wheel chains and ensure they are the correct size. If in doubt please ask your chain retailer for instructions.

How do I know what size chains to hire?

Your tyres are marked with a code. Check the outsie tyre wall for your car's tyre size. The staff at your local chain hire will help with ensuring you have the right size and train you on how to fit them.

When at the resort, you will be directed when chains must be fitted.

Chain Fitting Tip

Bring gloves, a torch, and a rug to lie on(the ground can get cold and wet!).
