Mt Buller is Australia’s most accessible major alpine resort offering over 300 hectares of terrain just 3 easy hours drive north east from Melbourne. With a network of 22 lifts including the new 6-seater Holden Express opened in 2008, Buller boasts the largest lifting system in Victoria and can move a staggering 40,000 skiers every hour.Whether you are beginner making your first turns on Bourke Street, riding the rails in one of the three terrain parks or pushing the limits as you take a line down Federation, Mt Buller has something to keep skiers and boarders of all levels happy and challenged.Nestled up in the snowfields Mt Buller’s picturesque village bustles with activity all season long and with more than 30 cafes, bars and restaurants to chose from one visit just isn’t long enough to try all the options from après, fine dining, great coffees and mountain fare.Those in need of an after dinner fix can head out under the lights with night skiing on Wednesdays and Saturdays from mid-July, while those who are ready for something different can take in a current release at Australia’s highest movie cinema, indulge with a spa treatment, try their hand at the indoor climbing wall or take the Gnome Roam to find the local little folk hidden all around the Village.Barry the Pygmy-possum is a Mt Buller icon and a highlight with the kids – he dances, he skis and usually has a curly-tailed tribe of happy followers trailing him around the Magic Forest.
2009 is set to be another great season at Mt Buller with a calendar of top events including the Cattleman’s Rail Jam presented by Burton, Rossignol Ladies’ Days, Kids’ Week and the Heineken ABOM Mogul Challenge. For more information head to mtbuller.com.au www.mtbuller.com.au
