From Time Kms

Melbourne 3.5hrs 240kms

Driving from Melbourne

Follow the Hume Highway or Maroondah Highway, and the scenery on the way is well worth the drive.
Whichever route you take from Melbourne to Mt Buller you drive through Mansfield - the closest major town to the Resort. Drive through Mansfield and follow the signs to Mt Buller.
At the base of Mt Buller (Mirimbah) you will stop at the gate entry point and pay a fee to enter the Resort. Once through the gate entry point, continue up a well-maintained road to Mt Buller.

Wheel Chains

Mt Buller's wheel chain requirements are decided on a daily basis and are determined by weather forecasts and existing road conditions. Chain requirements may vary between 2-wheel drive (2WD) and 4-wheel drive (4WD) and All-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles, as each of these types of cars react differently to snow and icy road conditions.

ALL OVERNIGHT VISITORS MUST CARRY WHEEL CHAINS AT ALL TIMES   

If you are staying in the Resort overnight you are required to carry chains at all times as weather conditions may change unexpectedly throughout the evening.
 

Car Parking in Mt Buller

As the Mt Buller Village is located above the snow line, there is no parking within the resort. You can park in the allocated car parking 1.5km below the Village. At this point, you will be met by an attendant who will guide you to a parking spot.

If you'd like to drive to Mansfield and then sit back and relax for the trip up into the Mt Buller Village, you can always jump on a bus for the last leg of the trip. Mansfield-Mt Buller Bus Lines provides regular services from Mansfield, Merrijig and Mirimbah, which means no chain hire or mountain driving.

Village Transport

From the designated car park you can either jump on a free shuttle bus (for day visitors) that will take you up into the Village centre or take a 4WD taxi (for people staying overnight) which will take you to your accommodation. Once you're in the Village, there is a free Intra-Village Shuttle Service that features three different routes to get you around the Village during your stay.
