About the place

Experience Victoria’s alpine playground on a full-day Mt Buller snow tour with round-trip coach transfers and resort entry.

Getting started

Meet your group at the Regent Theatre in Melbourne or Ringwood Station for an early departure. After a swift check-in, your driver-guide will outline the day before you board a climate-controlled coach. A scheduled stop in Mansfield lets you grab coffee and collect pre-booked gear before the final climb to the mountain.

What to expect

Mt Buller is one of Victoria’s premier alpine resorts, with more than 300 hectares of skiable terrain and a lively, welcoming village. The resort’s 25 lifts and varied runs offer something for every age and skill level.

Features

  • Diverse terrain parks: Access slopes from gentle beginner runs to advanced black trails, whether you’re learning or perfecting your turns.

  • Alpine village charm: Warm up in cafés, linger in restaurants, or browse shops between snow sessions.

  • Scenic journey: Travel through the Yarra Valley and Great Dividing Range, pausing in Mansfield for refreshments and gear pickup.

  • Flexible snow play: Spend up to five hours on the mountain—skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing, or simply soaking in the alpine air.

  • Expert driver-guide: Gain local insight, route details, and full-day support to make the most of your visit.

Please note: Lift passes, equipment hire, lessons, and meals are not included and can be arranged in the village.
