There's no better way to unlock the secrets of the high country than on your own two feet. Mt Buller and Mt Stirling offer a variety of hiking experiences for all ages and levels of fitness.
Feel a sense of achievement after
reaching the Summit where you'll be greeted with a 360 degree view of the high country including, the Delatite Valley, Lake Eildon and the surrounding alps - the perfect vantage point to catch the magnificent mountain sunsets.
Challenge yourself to multi-day hikes in the surrounding high country, and pamper yourself on your return to Mt Buller.
Set out on your own or head to Mt Buller for a free guided walk along the Summit Nature Trail. Guided tours allow you to learn about specialised alpine flora and fauna, the history of Mt Buller and the evolution of the ski fields.
