About Mount Buller Alpine Resort

 

Mount Buller Alpine Resort is located in the Victorian Alps of Australia, approximately 230 kilometers northeast of Melbourne. The resort sits at elevations ranging from 1,600 to 1,805 meters, making it one of the highest and most reliable snow destinations in the state. The area is part of the larger Mount Buller and Mount Stirling Alpine Resort Management Board lands, which include protected forest and alpine heath ecosystems. Characterized by rugged granite peaks, snowgum woodlands, and alpine meadows, the resort supports diverse flora and fauna adapted to cooler mountainous climates. Established as a winter sports destination in the mid-20th century, Mount Buller has grown to become Victoria's most accessible alpine resort offering over 80 downhill trails catering to beginners through advanced skiers and snowboarders. Summer activities at Mount Buller include mountain biking on extensive single-track networks, bushwalking, wildlife spotting, and scenic chairlift rides. Notable landmarks include the summit lookout offering panoramic views across the Victorian Alps and the historic Mount Buller Village with its alpine architecture and amenities. The resort is highly popular both in winter for snow sports and in the warmer months for outdoor recreation and festivals. Mount Buller also features sustainable tourism initiatives focused on preserving its natural environment.
