Mount Buller day trip from Melbourne

Mount Buller is Victoria's most accessible alpine resort, north-east of Melbourne in the High Country. It is a long day by road, which is exactly why many people would rather not drive it themselves, particularly in winter.

North-east of Melbourne, roughly 240 kilometres each way.

Worth knowing before you book

In the declared snow season a resort entry fee applies per vehicle and wheel chains may be required by law, whatever the weather looks like from Melbourne. Both are checked and included in your written quote when they apply.
Snow is weather, so nobody can promise it. What we can do is get you there and back without you fitting chains or looking for parking.
Lift passes, lessons and equipment hire are booked by you directly with the resort.
Outside winter the mountain is open for walking and mountain biking, and the road is an easier drive.

Who this suits: Groups wanting a snow day without hiring a car, fitting chains or driving a mountain road in poor conditions. It is a long day in the vehicle, which is a lot to ask of a toddler.

Common questions

Is there a tour guide with us?

Your driver is your guide for the day. They take you to the places you have chosen, know the routes and the stops, and will tell you about what you are seeing along the way. What they are not is a badged guide reading a script at each attraction — and most people booking a private day prefer it that way, because you set the pace instead of following one. If your group specifically wants a licensed guide, say so with your enquiry and we will tell you plainly whether it can be arranged for your date.

How long do we get at each stop?

Your written quote confirms the reserved time and agreed route. Within that plan, your group sets the pace at each stop. Extra stops or longer travel can affect timing and the final total, so ask and we will confirm what fits before travel.

How late can we book?

Later than most people expect. Bookings have been confirmed with a few days' notice and sometimes less, subject to a vehicle and driver being free. Ask — the worst answer is that the date is taken.
