During the declared snow season it is a legal requirement to carry chains when travelling to Mt Baw Baw.
Both the Ladder and the Diamond pattern chains are acceptable. However we recommend usage of diamond pattern.

You will be directed by Mountain Staff when and where to fit your chains. Depending on the snow fall this generally takes place once you have passed the Gate Entry.
Our staff may be able to direct you in chain fitting however they are NOT able to fit your chains on your behalf so please ensure you are aware of how to fit the chains properly prior to traveling up the mountain. We recommend that you bring gloves, a plastic sheet, and a torch (if fitting at night) for when you are required to fit and remove chains.
It is also important to note that it can snow at any time throughout the year, during the Green Season chains can at times be needed.
