Easy to get here, impossible to forget! Mt Buller is 225km from Melbourne airport, and the drive is part of the adventure. Mt Buller is the closest major ski resort to an international airport in Australia.
There are a few options for travelling from the airport to Mt Buller:
Rent a car: Drive to Mansfield (2 hours 15 minutes from airport) or proceed straight to either Merrijig or Mirimbah and rent your wheel chains from one of these stores. Wheel chains are required by law every day of the winter snow season.
Head to the base of the mountain, which is called Mirimbah. It's a good idea to pre-purchase your Resort Entry online at least the day before you arrive, to save yourself some time and money. Print your Resort Entry Dashboard Pass and display it clearly on your front window to drive directly to the car parks. Parking attendants will be there to direct you.
Once parked, you will be able to catch a free shuttle bus up to the main Mt Buller village.
Please be aware of wildlife as you near Mt Buller, Kangaroos, wallabies, deer, wombats and other animals are often on and beside the road. Slow down and be alert especially during dawn/dusk and at night.
