Have a go!

Mt Buller is where many Australians discover snow for the very first time. The snow might be cold, but the welcome is always warm.

As our Olympians take to the slopes at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, it is hard not to feel inspired. Watching them compete can spark a simple thought. How can I have a go?

The first moment on snow is unforgettable. A mix of nerves, laughter and small wins, followed by the feeling when it finally clicks. It is how lifelong winter memories begin.

Mt Buller is Victoria's most accessible ski resort only 3 hours from Melbourne - the perfect place to have a go.

Here's how you have a go at Mt Buller this Winter...

Skiing or snowboarding? The choice is yours. With lessons designed for first timers, you will be supported from your very first step. You might surprise yourself with how quickly the basics come together.

Our First Timers Guide takes the guesswork out of planning. What to wear, what to book and what to expect, so you can arrive feeling confident and ready to enjoy every moment.

After a full day on snow the fun doesn’t stop. Wander the village, refuel at one of the 30+ café, bars and dining spots, or treat yourself to a little alpine retail therapy.
