Mountain Bike Shuttle Services
Blue Dirt are the exclusive MTB shuttles provider at Mt Buller Resort. Ride down the mountain, and they pick you and your bike up in a bus and take you back to the top. Repeat this as many times as you like within hours of operation.
The incredible trail network at Mt Buller means Blue Dirt have two different shuttle services.
The Gravity Zone: multiple buses running non-stop 10am to 4pm. Simply jump on the shuttle vehicle when you reach the end of the trail (turn right at trails end and pedal a short distance along the dirt road). The key trails here are Copperhead; ABOM; Outlaw Express and International. People also ride other trails within the bike park and then make their way down to the shuttle to be taken back up to the resort village. The Gravity Zone shuttle collects you from the Lower Tyrol Carpark and drops you on the launchpad at the very top of the gravity trails.
Mirimbah Shuttle: A shuttle bus running from the very bottom of the mountain. This caters to people riding both the Epic Trail and Delatite River Trail. This shuttle leaves from the Mirimbah cafe at scheduled times. We recommend booking in advance so you can plan your ride. It takes our vehicles 30 – 40 minutes to drive back up the mountain, and is much easier than pedaling. Must book 4 days in advance.

TRAIL REPORT
Last updated: 4th May 2022
There are mixed emotions as we reach the end of this incredible green season on the bike trails; feeling sad but high stoke for the season that was all at the same time.
A massive thanks go out to all those who have been a part of the works across Mt Buller and Mt Stirling in transforming out mountain bike trails including a big thank you to the Victorian Government’s Regional Tourism Investment Fund - Stimulus Round for the funding that made reinvigorating the trails possible.
If you didn't make it up here this summer, make a plan to get on your bike in November 2022 and see what all the fuss is about. The bike trails are now closed as winter preparation kicks into gear across the resorts, but we'll keep you posted when our trails roll out for next summer.
2021/22 TRAIL REFURBISHMENT PROJECT
Our entire MTB trail network will be fully refurbished through the 2021/22 Summer season, thanks to a $1.25m grant funding from the Victorian Government’s Regional Tourism Infrastructure Fund. Taking place over the next several months, the MTB trail network is getting groomed, developed, and manicured to perfection, but until they're ready, there will be the occasional trail closure across the MTB trail network. We encourage all riders to inspect the new trails before committing to an extreme run of the trail.
Keep an eye on the Bike Trail Report here for the latest on what trails are open and closed.
Trails involve a range of technical features and obstacles, vary in altitude from 600 to 1700m and guarantee incredible views, an amazing alpine environment
Mt Buller features 3 downhill, 1 flow track and 1 gravity trail, ranging from easy to advanced.
Test your strength and endurance by cycling up to the Resort on the Mt Buller Tourist Road - a 16km uphill grind that stretches from the base of the mountain to the top.
