Mt Dobson Ski area access road entrance is shown on our location map; 11km west of Fairlie. There will be mountain transport available at weekends and school holidays from Binney's Tearooms at 49 Mt Cook Rd, Fairlie.
If you are driving, you must carry a set of tyre chains to fit your vehicle (4wheel drive or not). Chains can be hired from the Ski Shack (ski shop) in Fairlie or purchased from a service station.
Drive up the road until you see the chain fitting sign, this will be at one of several locations and on a wider section of the road; you must fit your chains where indicated. If you do not see a sign keep driving on up to the car park. Please angle park.
Next, come along to the ticket office at the north end of the car park (No payment required to this stage).
