Mount Buller - World Snowboard Guide

Navigation

Mt. Buller is 850 hectares of riding pleasure, with 25 lifts that would, in a perfect world, whisk 40,000 snowboarders per hour up the 400m vertical rise so they could make the best of Victoria's largest trail system. 'Buller' as it is affectionately known is the closest major resort to Melbourne so weekend riding is not recommended, unless you enjoy lift lines and busy slopes. The terrain mix at Buller will keep all levels of rider amused for sometime, with an even spread between all levels.
