What you need to know

All vehicles visiting Mt Buller or Mt Stirling MUST carry diamond pattern wheel chains every day of the declared snow season.

You can rent wheel chains for your trip from local stores, including Buller Sports Mansfield.

Staff and signage will inform you during the ascent on the Mt Buller road if you need to fit chains.

Spider chains, ladder chains and wheel socks do not meet the requirements for resort entry.

What are Wheel Chains?

Wheel chains are fitted around your vehicle’s tires to provide extra grip on snowy or icy roads.

You do not need to fit chains as soon as you reach Mirimbah. Carry them in your vehicle and only fit them when directed by road signage or a Resort Management officer.

Use a designated chain fitting bay and make sure you know how to fit your chains before travelling. If you are hiring chains, ask the rental team to show you how they work and confirm which tyres they should be fitted to.
