Snow Areas: Australia's Mt Buller

Mt Buller – Home of the Day Tripper….go midweek and you can score some awesome snow without the crowds if a storm has just gone through…

Some of the best top to bottom fall line skiing you can get if there is plenty of snow – you need at least 1m depth to get to the bottom lifts though.

Go to Buller on the weekends and you might find a fair percentage of Melbourne there…but there is still plenty of stashes to have a ripping day on the planks…

With over 300 hectares of skiable terrain, there is something to appeal to all levels of ability. Runs range from the wide beginner’s slopes of Bourke St and Burnt Hut Spur, to the challenge of our black runs like Chamois and the back of Summit.

With 22 lifts, Mt Buller has the largest lift network in Victoria, including thirteen chairlifts (three of which are high speed detachables) four T-bars, two rope tows (counted as one) and four magic carpets.

The resort features three terrain parks designed for all skill levels, a terrain garden and rider cross course with a dedicated snow grooming team to maintain their condition.

For plenty of snow play fun, Mt Buller has two toboggan parks, complete with their own snowmaking machines to keep the kids happy all winter long.

The Mt Buller Village is situated picturesquely at the heart of the mountain, offering ski in, ski out accommodation and a huge range of bars and restaurants. With a wide range of accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets, there is something to cater for all needs. Over 30 bars and restaurants provide a range of delectable treats, from quick snacks to fine dining anda choice of nightlife options.
