Cross-country skiing provides a great physical workout and is suitable for people of all ages and abilities. While Mt Buller is renowned for its downhill slopes, we also have 9km of cross-country trails that circle around the back of the Village.
The trails are easy to access and offer spectacular views of Mt Stirling and the Bluff.
Want to try something new? Figgles or short skis are great alternative to traditional skiing, while still using the same skill set. Available from most on-mountain rental outlets, figgles allow you to add a new dimension of freedom and variety to your skiing. Figgles are available to hire from George’s Ski Hire.
Ski and snowboard under the stars every Wednesday and Saturday* from mid July until September, on Mt Buller's popular Bourke Street run. When the sun goes down, the lights come on allowing for night skiing between 7pm and 10pm.

You don’t have to be a skier or boarder to explore the mountain! Simply jump on either the Horse Hill or Blue Bullet 1 chairlifts and enjoy a breathtaking ride across Mt Buller’s slopes.
The Horse Hill Chairlift on the northern slope departs from the day car park and will take you to Spurs Restaurant. The Blue Bullet 1 Chairlift runs directly above Bourke Street, allowing you to watch all of the on-slope action.
Tickets are available from any ticket office or Buller Sports Outlet.
ether you're a beginner about to discover the magic of snowsports or an expert who can navigate the steepest slopes with ease, you'll get more out of your holiday if you ski the runs that are best suited to your level. Mt Buller has a variety of terrain to suit every ability.
Beginner green runs
Bourke Street is our famous beginner area overlooking the Mt Buller Village. You master your first turns on this gentle beginner slope, before heading up the Holden Express Chairlift to Baldy. For those wanting a new challenge, head to the top of the Holden Express and follow the signs to Spurs, where you will find Burnt Hut Spur. This green run is a favourite for many Mt Buller skiers. Long, wide and perfect for beginners, it is a great place to work on those turns.
Intermediate blue runs
Mt Buller offers a variety of groomed blue terrain for intermediate skiers and boarders.
Travel up BB1 and head across to the front of the Arlberg Hotel and you’re at Shakey Knees. At the bottom, head up the Emirates Discovery Chairlift and stop for a break at the Tirol Cafe.
The ever popular Little Buller Spur offers skiers a reliable and consistent skiing experience. You can access Little Buller Spur from the top of Holden then follow the signs to Little Buller Spur. Little Buller Spur is a wide, cruising slope that leads to the Wombat Chair. A great alternative to LBS is Wombat, which runs parallel and leads to the Wombat Chair.
Other popular runs on the Southside for intermediates include, Standard, Family Run and Summit. On the northern side of the mountain Summit Slide and Dam Run are other great choices.
Advanced black runs
With a great variety of advanced terrain, Mt Buller has challenges to excite the most experienced skier or boarder. Most of the advanced runs are located on the south side of the ski area, including the popular Federation, Wood Run, the Bull Run and Wombat bowls, and Men’s and Women’s Downhill.
Other popular choices are Howqua Extension, McLaughlin’s Shoulder and Cow Camp.
Donning a pair of snow shoes is the perfect way to explore the winter wonderland that is Mt Buller. Suitable for all ages, snow shoeing is as easy as walking. Whether you want to trek to the summit to watch a glorious sunset or explore the Mt Buller backcountry playground with deep snow among the trees, you’ll discover a side of the mountain you haven't seen before.
Snow shoes can be hired from one of the many on-mountain rental outlets and guided snow shoe tours are also available.
Snowtubing is fabulous fun for the whole family and is a perfect activity if you don’t quite feel like taking to the slopes on a ski or board.
Sit or lie in an over-sized inflated rubber tube and feel the adrenaline rush as you spin you way down the channels of the snowtubing park!
Located near Spur’s Cafe, snowtubing is FREE with a valid sightseeing pass. Take the Horse Hill Chairlift from the Horse Hill Car park or walk across from the top of Blue Bullet Chairlift and you’ll find the snowtubing lanes near the Spurs T-bar.
If you are looking for a new challenge on your next Mt Buller visit, why not consider learning to telemark. Telemark skiing, or free-heel skiing, looks deceptively easy but is quite a challenge. The Mt Buller Ski & Snowboard School offers lessons in this exciting discipline.
Families with kids of all ages love the exhilarating experience of tobogganing!
Mt Buller has two designated toboggan areas – one located in the day car park next to Celia’s Cafe and the other next to the Post Office in the Village. Toboggans are available for hire from most on-mountain rental outlets.
Please note that toboggans are to be used only in the two designated areas and not on the ski-runs.
Come and talk a walk with Mt Buller's little folk! The Mt Buller Gnome Roam takes visitors on a tour of the mystical gnome world of the mountain village where they will catch a glimpse of resident Mt Buller gnomes, learn about their favourite places to play as well as some interesting facts about the gnome way of life.
Visitors can collect a Mt Buller Gnome Roam booklet from the post office to guide them through the Roam. The booklet, which makes a perfect keepsake, contains an intricately designed map and beautiful photos of Mt Buller Gnome folk. A further bonus is the gnome stickers available at the Post Office as a reward for completing the Roam.
On your way up the mountain, you can also stop in at the Gnome Home for a visit. Located about 3km up the Mt Buller Tourist Rd, keep an eye out for the Gnome Crossing sign and just past that you will find the Gnome Home, in a majestic Mountain Ash tree.
