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.

Places you can include

Choose the ones you want. We build the day around your list, drive you to each and wait while you visit. Paid entries are booked by you unless your written quote lists them.

  • Mount Buller village

    The resort itself, at the top of the mountain road.

  • Mansfield

    The last full town before the climb; a common stop on the way.

  • Merrijig and the Delatite valley

    The approach through the foothills.

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 before the day, and the entry fee is listed as an extra in your written quote when it applies.
  • 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.
  • Paid entries such as lift passes, lessons and equipment hire are booked by you unless your written quote lists them.
  • 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 private vehicle and driver come with local destination knowledge and practical advice. Your driver transports your group safely, waits while you explore and collects you at agreed places and times, within the agreed route and reserved window. The standard service does not include a tour guide or conducted guided visits. A separate guide can be arranged at extra cost, subject to availability and a written quote before booking.

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.

From A$1,199 for the whole vehicle

Starting rates for the private group, up to 4 guests. Longer reserved time, larger parties, added regions and peak dates are quoted higher, and the written total is confirmed after the route, vehicle fit and availability are checked.
