Nestled high on the ski fields, the resort offers travellers quaint lodges, luxury hotels, cosy restaurants and cafes.

Starting from gentle slopes to a spectacular double black diamond shute, there is a run available for all ability levels.

After arriving at Mount Buller you will have hours of free time in the snow to indulge in your chosen activity and to explore the region. Clothing and equipment will be available for hire on the day, or pre-purchase one of our packages so you are ready to go when you arrive.
