Mt Buller Alpine Resort
The closest major ski resort to Melbourne, with about 22 lifts and 300 hectares of runs. There is accommodation in the village at the summit.
Mt Buller Alpine Resort is the most visited ski resort in Victoria, about three hours' drive from Melbourne. The resort has more than 20 lifts. Roughly 30% of the runs are beginner, and 40% intermediate. Bourke Street, the beginner area, and Baldy and Burnt Hut are good for newcomers, while Summit and Federation suit advanced skiers. The village at the top has hotels, apartments, restaurants and ski schools. During ski season, you must buy a resort access pass (charged per vehicle) and carry snow chains in your car. You can take the shuttle bus from Mansfield. In summer, some lifts run, and the resort becomes a base for mountain biking and hiking.
