Summer and Autumn Adventures: Hiking, Biking, and More
As the snow melts, Mount Buller reveals a whole new world of outdoor adventures. One of the best ways to explore the mountain is by tackling its scenic hiking trails. The Summit Nature Walk offers panoramic views of the High Country, while the Delatite River Trail leads you through lush forests, past waterfalls, and across suspension bridges.
For mountain biking enthusiasts, Mount Buller is home to some of Australia’s best mountain biking trails. The Australian Alpine Epic Trail, one of the country’s most famous bike routes, takes riders through breathtaking landscapes, while trails like Copperhead offer fast and flowing descents for all skill levels.
Thrill-seekers can also enjoy rock climbing and abseiling, taking in incredible views while challenging themselves on natural rock faces. If you prefer a more relaxed adventure, try horseback riding through the scenic alpine terrain, offering a unique way to experience the mountain’s beauty.
For those who love to immerse themselves in nature, camping under the stars is a fantastic way to experience Mount Buller’s alpine environment. Set up camp and enjoy a night surrounded by the tranquility of the mountains. 4WD off-road tours offer another exciting way to explore the rugged landscape, taking you through remote areas with spectacular scenery. Take a trip with High Country Scenic Tours or Australis 4WD Adventures.
Wildlife spotting and photography enthusiasts will also find plenty to capture, from native birdlife to wombats and wallabies roaming freely in the High Country, or try to spot the elusive Lyrebird! Then visit Horse Hill Lookout for an iconic photo opportunity.
Winter Wonderland: Snow Sports and More
If you’re visiting during winter, Mount Buller transforms into a premier skiing and snowboarding destination — and staying in on-mountain accommodation means you’re just steps from the action. With over 300 hectares of skiable terrain and runs suited for beginners to advanced riders, there’s something for everyone. Take a lesson at the ski school, carve up the slopes, or enjoy the scenic alpine views from the chairlifts.
For non-skiers, there’s still plenty of fun to be had. Try snowshoeing through peaceful trails, race down the toboggan runs, or experience a magical dog sled ride through the snow-covered landscape. End your day by cozying up in your Mt Buller apartment with a warm drink and breathtaking views.
Unwind and Soak in the Alpine Atmosphere
After an action-packed day, head to Mount Buller Village to relax. Enjoy a delicious meal at The Whitt or The Arlberg, grab a drink at a local bar, or simply take in the crisp mountain air while watching the sunset.
