33Lift TicketsThere are over 75 combinations of lift tickets to choose from, ranging from

beginner lift and lesson for first timers to lift and lesson for all abilities. There are

savings on family tickets throughout the whole season, and discounts on lift and

lesson tickets during low and shoulder season. Our expert staff can give you the

best advice on the ticket choices available.

Ski & Snowboard EquipmentBoots and skis are personally fitted for your comfort and safety. All ski hire prices

throughout this brochure are based on Carving Skis. A deposit is required on all

equipment.

ClothingFor travel and indoors, warm casual clothing is all that is needed. For skiing

we suggest a parka, waterproof pants, jumper, a ski cap that covers the ears,

padded gloves, thick socks and sunglasses or goggles. Please remember to bring

sunblock as the sun’s reflection off the snow can quite often cause sunburn.

When not skiing, apré boots are suggested for oversnow walking. A travelling

rug and pillow is recommended for coach travel.

Oversnow TransfersOversnow transfers are required for Mt. Buller and Falls Creek from the

carparking areas to the accommodation. Prices vary from resort to resort,

approximately $35 return per adult and $25 return per child.

Resort Entry FeesThe Resorts are all based on National Park land and a resort entry fee is required

whether travelling by coach or driving a car into the resort. Ask our consultants

for details.

Mt Buller Alpine Resort is just 250km north east of Melbourne or an easy three hour drive and offers some of Victoria’s most

spectacular alpine and sub-alpine terrain with over 80kms of groomed trails spread over 300 hectares of skiable terrain

with something to appeal to all levels of ability. Runs range from the wide beginner’s slopes of Bourke St and Burnt

Hot Spur, to the challenge of the black runs like Chamois and the back of Summit.

The village toboggan park has its own snowmaking machine to keep the kids happy all winter long. There’s a

second toboggan park located at Horse Hill Chairlift where you can catch the lift up to the snowtubing park.

The Mt Buller Village is situated picturesquely at the heart of the mountain, offering ski in, ski out

accommodation to suit all tastes and a huge range of bars and restaurants. The Village also offers

other facilities including supermarket, post office, medical centre and ATM’s.
