Welcome to the Spring edition of the Motel on Alpine quarterly newsletter.
Although it is early in the season, spring has already made its presence felt with the blossoms blooming and the spring bulbs bringing a carpet of colour to the ground.
While the weather gets warmer, there is still no end of winter activities in the surrounding Alpine Region. The ski season does not officially finish until the end of September and there is still great snow cover and lots of activities to enjoy.
With the warmer weather comes the ability to utilise some of Motel on Alpine's great outdoor dining options with BBQ facilities, great gourmet hampers available and wonderful home-made breakfasts by the pool. Don't forget the spa for a great way to relax after a day of strenuous sight-seeing!
We are especially proud to announce that Range restaurant has continued it's high ranking within the restaurant industry. The restaurant was awarded two Chef's Hats by The Age 2009 Good Food Guide with a score of 16/20. This follows on from The Age 2008 Good Food Guide award of Best Country Restaurant and two Chef's Hats. We congratulate chef Michael Ryan and his staff for a fantastic effort.
Range opening hours are as follows:
Lunch Thursday - Sunday 12:00 noon - 3:00 pm
Dinner Wednesday - Saturday 6:30 pm until close
Dinner Sunday long weekends only

Spring is a wonderful time of the year to explore the Alpine Shire on foot. Whether you are an experienced bushwalker or just want a leisurely stroll, this is the best time of the year to do so. The weather is cool and the scenery is spectacular as the countryside comes out of hibernation.
Alpine National Park is a favourite for walkers with more than 1100 native plant species, 12 of which are only found in the area. Among its fauna is the rare mountain pygmy possum, the world's only exclusive alpine marsupial.
Mount Buffalo National Park is crammed with an extraordinary range of attractions and activities. A network of walking tracks covers majestic views and diverse environments, from lakes and waterfalls, huge granite tors and the highest vertical cliffs in Australia.
Myrtleford Visitor Information Centre has maps of all the best walking trails in the area.
Why not stay a couple of days at the Motel on Alpine, explore the region's beauty and shake away the winter cobwebs with fresh mountain air.
