Climb aboard one of the modern Swiss-built gondolas on this iconic chairlift to enjoy an all-encompassing view stretching as far as Melbourne's city skyline and even to Mt Macedon. While most opt for return tickets, the trek back down (45 minutes) is along a steep but scenic route through state forest.

The base station is at 1085 Arthurs Seat Rd in Dromana; you can start your journey there or from the summit.
