THE Cobungra Flat Slope Tobogganing run at Dinner Plain is set to be one of the star attractions for the pristine holiday destination.

The new and improved fast-paced run will have people of all ages having the fun of their lifetime.

Dinner Plain’s Cobungra Flat Slope run is now Australia’s longest tobogganing run measuring in at 75m long and 40m wide.

The run is equipped with full snowmaking and grooming facilities keeping the slope in perfect condition as deep into the season as possible.

Dinner Plain’s operating plans mean walk-up access to tobogganing without pre-booking, however, capacity limits will be applied.

Unlike a ski resort, the Dinner Plain Village itself is not subject to capacity limits and tobogganing will be available for free walk-up access so it remains a great option for families in the Alpine Shire.

Dinner Plain marketing manager Nathan Fenton said tobogganing is important as it is quite often an introduction to the snow for children

“Tobogganing is one of the first introductions people have to the snow and it’s especially important to families who struggle with the costs of skiing or snowboarding," Mr Fenton said.

“Dinner Plain has always been one of the best destinations for tobogganing and snow play, and this dedication to operating in 2020 means a great outcome for locals and visitors looking for a low-cost snow option this winter."

The Cobungra Platter slope is usually used for skiing only but with Mount Hotham Ski Company’s decision not to operate at Dinner Plain an opportunity to turn the prime space into one the best toboggan slopes in the country arose.

Mr Fenton said he was looking forward to seeing how much the users enjoy the new and improved slope.

"The area itself measures around 40 metres wide and over 75 metres long which we’re pretty sure is the largest toboggan slope in Australia," Mr Fenton said.

"What will make it the best snow play area with regular grooming and snowmaking to maintain a quality surface that will still be running deep into the season."
