Mt Buller

A three-hour drive from Melbourne, Mt Buller is a stand out destination for dedicated skiers and boarders looking for that quintessential Australian skiing experience. Popular with sightseers, first timers, families and hardcore skiers and boarders alike, Buller has 22 lifts moving 40,000+ skiers per hour around the mountain across it’s 741 acres (300 hectares).

Skiing and riding around Mt Buller feels bigger than the numbers suggest. Possibly because of the treeless high alpine runs of the Summit area or possibly thanks to it’s well designed lift system, the largest in Victoria, it’s fall line runs and the fact you are skiing up and down and over one mountain peak.

Buller has a great mix of beginner, intermediate, advanced and expert terrain out along the Moonlight Ridge area that is as extreme as it can get – it’s definitely “experts only” out on the ridge. If you like to ski bumps, then Buller has you covered. Head over to Wood Run or across to Sun Valley for some wider spaced bump lines. Intermediates have plenty of options to choose from. You can warm up on Skyline, the head over to the north side for laps on Shakey Knees, then around the corner to the Summit Slide, Summit and then you can finish off on Littler Buller Spur and Wombat.

The Mt Buller Village offers a full range of accommodations, 40+ cafes and restaurants, a licenced supermarket, 14 retail and rental outlets and a free shuttle bus to and around the Village. As a family mountain there are lots of fun activities for the kids to do like the new Buller Air Zone, Sled Dog Tours, Tobogganing, Snowshoe Tours and a Cinema with kid friendly early sessions.

Once the kids are asleep, Buller comes alive as it knows how to throw a great party, just make sure you don’t have too many nights in a row listening to the Kooroora 3am anthem ‘Amore’, those that have will know what we mean.
