A small valley amongst snow gums and occasionally visited by the plateau's resident alpine dingo population, Dingo Dell is aptly named.
Dingo Dell in winter is the ideal location for toboganning, snow play and snow shoeing. In summer it is possible to walk up the old ski slopes to the top of the ridge for views across the plateau.
Dingo Dell is one of two toboggan and snow play areas located at Mt Buffalo. Its wide, gentle slopes offer a range of safe and enjoyable snow experiences.
Facilities at Dingo Dell include a designated toboggan slope, open areas for snow play, first aid room, take away food and drinks, toilets, and a marked snowshoe track to the hilltop above.
Things To Do
Tobogganing
The dedicated toboggan area is only available when there is adequate snow and is marked with fencing and signage.
All toboggan users must walk up the side of the slope to avoid being hit by those coming down the hill.
Conditions on the toboggan slope can deteriorate late in the day due to freezing, making the snow very fast and rock hard.
Only moulded plastic toboggans are allowed.
Check the daily snow report in the Change of Conditions section below.
How to get there
Dingo Dell
Travel from Porepunkah up the mountain and follow the signs at Tucker Box Corner to Dingo Dell. Turn right at the car park area and follow the small access road down to the café building. At the turning circle drive back out the way you came in and park on the left-hand side of the road. Once this access road is full of parked vehicles the road will be closed and all other vehicles must either continue to Cresta Valley or head back down the road to another site in the park. Do not park in the main car park.
