What to Expect

Mount Buller is a resort village in eastern Victoria with an elevation of 1,805 metres, approximately 225 km from Melbourne. This mountain is known for its downhill ski slopes, terrain parks, cosy cafes, restaurants and bars.

This is the perfect opportunity to spend the day in the snow from June to September. Departing very early from Melbourne, your small group will make the journey to Mt Buller, arriving around 9:00 am, giving you 7 total hours on the mountain.

Once on the mountain, the day is all yours to experience the beautiful views, explore the mountain and ski or snowboard the slopes. A free shuttle bus operates from the car park to the village, and smaller shuttle buses operate within the town.

Build a snowman with the kids, try tobogganing or purchase a sightseeing lift ticket. If you want to learn to ski or snowboard, various ski lessons operate during the day. For experts, get your lift ticket and spend the whole day on the slopes. It's best to pre-book lift passes and lessons so you don't miss out, and it will save you time on the day.

The village is also home to plenty of restaurants and bars if you fancy an apres-ski (even if you don't hit the slopes!).

Lift passes, ski schools, ski hire, and meals are all available at your own expense. For those requiring ski equipment or clothing, the group will stop at Discount Ski Hire in Mansfield, where you will receive a 20% discount on any equipment you hire. Your guide tries to keep this stop as short as possible, so make sure you know what you need for the day.

The group will depart at 4:00 pm for the journey back to Melbourne, arriving at 8:00 pm.
