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

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.

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.
