Mt Buller - Cross Country Trails

CROSS COUNTRY TRAILS

The trails at Mt Buller have been designed and built by renowned trail designer Glen Jacobs and his team from World Trail, and aim to be low maintenance, sustainable and blend seamlessly with the alpine environment. Trails involve a range of technical feature and obstacles, vary in altitude from 600 to 1700m and guarantee incredible views, an amazing alpine environment – and best of all, they’re free to use! Trails range from beginner to advanced, however due to the naturally steep and varied terrain, most are suitable for intermediate-advanced riders.

Misty Twist

Picnic Trail

Cornhill Trail

Trial Type: MTB Cross Country Difficulty: Blue Distance: 1 km

Steep rocky ascent on a mix of narrow single track featuring, some tight switchbacks, flowing technical sections and wide fire trail to the intersection of Woolybutt and Medusa Trails.

Gangs Gangs

Trial Type: MTB Cross Country Difficulty: Blue Distance: 1.4 km

The trail begins with some tight technical turns and berms, flowing onto a gently traversing single track. At the junction with the Split Rock link, either drop down the slightly steeper flowy section to complete Gang Gangs and access more trails beyond Cornhill Rd, or use the link to skip

Medusa

From the intersection with Cornhill Trail and Woolybutt Trail, or from the top of Trigger Happy Trail, the Medusa winds and climbs a steep but rewarding section of single track to bring you out just before the summit of Corn Hill. Once the climb is complete there are two choices, a lap of Misty Twist or Clancy's Run (or both!) Stop and enjoy the views on the way up, or savour it for the second lap!

One Tree Hill

Trial Type: MTB Cross Country Difficulty: Green Distance: .630 km

Climb the first few switchbacks from Stirling Road, to be rewarded by a meadow of Alpine Trigger Plants amongst the snowgums. The descent can be fast and fun, so slow down and enjoy the berms to suit your skill level. The trail briefly joins with Family Trail, behind the Duck Inn, and then flows into Gang Gang's the other side of Goal Post Road.

Plough Shed Entry
