With a picturesque location atop a mountain in the Victorian Alps, Mount Buller village is where you'll find one of the state's main ski resorts offering 740 skiable acres of terrain across 25 trails.
The snowy wonderland sits about three hours' drive from Melbourne, making it an easy weekend getaway during the colder months of June to October.
Much more than just a ski resort, the area's also home to a selection of resorts, cosy bars and restaurants and other snow-based activities like tobogganing and dog sledding. During the warmer months, its slopes are riddled with accessible biking and walking trails.
The closest airport to Mount Buller is Melbourne's Tullamarine. From there, you'll need to rent a car or book a transfer to get to the resort.
Sitting about three hours and 15 minutes' drive northeast of Melbourne, Mount Buller is a small village that, once you're there, has almost everything within walking distance.
Free shuttles are available throughout the village to help you get around, especially with heavy ski and boarding equipment.
Taxis are available to take you from car parks to the village and can also be hailed throughout the village. Taxis run on set fees. Shuttle transfers to and from Mount Buller are easy to find with departure times to fit your schedule.
From Melbourne Tullamarine Airport you can book a transfer on Mt Buller Ski Express.
From Melbourne or Adelaide city centres, BullerBus offers daily transfers. Additionally, Alzburg, Extragreen Holidays, Gray Line and Mt Buller Ski Express all offer coach services between Melbourne city centre and Mount Buller.
If you're short on time and coming from Melbourne, you can also book a one-day package from sites like RedBalloon that includes a return coach from Melbourne and a 20% discount on any hire equipment, whether it's skis, snowboards or anything else. While day trips have an early start, it's a good option if you're short on time as you'll have from about 7:30am until 4pm on the mountain. Adrenaline also offers an all-inclusive day trip package, which includes a lift pass, lesson, equipment and clothing hire.
Taxi: Taxis are available between the car parks and the village, as well as within the village. Taxis only accept taxi tickets which can be either purchased online beforehand, directly from the drive, or at the resort entry point.
Rideshare: Rideshares, like Uber, Ola and Didi, are not currently available in Mount Buller.
If you're heading to Mount Buller to hit the slopes, there's something for all ages and skill levels, whether you're a beginner looking for lessons and magic carpets or a daredevil hoping to hit up the terrain parks - there's four of them.
Mount Buller's ski area is split up into two faces of the mountain, the Northern Slopes and the Southern Slopes.
