An easy 3-hour drive from Melbourne, Mt Buller is a long-time favourite ski break destination for Victorians. And we've got the best Mt Buller accommodations right here.
Now that the 2015 season has begun and those snow cams have gotten you all jealous of those already on the slopes, it’s time to start planning your snow escape.
While technically a trip to Mt Buller can probably be done in one really long day, with the mountain being home to more than 300 hectares of skiable terrain, 22 lifts (the largest network in the state) and a village filled with accommodation, restaurants and bars, it’s best to stay for at least a night to get the most out of your stay
That’s why we’ve come up with a guide to the top accommodations at Mt Buller. Check out our list below that will save you time researching, and leave you more time planning out which run to schuss down first.
