Mt Buller is open for summer

WE'RE GETTING SUMMER READY - ARE YOU?

The warm sunshine and fresh rain have worked their magic, leaving Mt Buller looking heavenly. The wildflowers are out, the trails are open and whether you plan to take it slow or spicy - we've got something you're going to like up here.

Time to ride (and stride)
December marks the opening of the bike trail network, so dust off your bike and get ready for some time on the trails! The team from Contour Works have been on the tools with the Mt Buller crew and almost all the trails have been given a brush up, some re-shaping and are minty fresh for riding. The 'pedally' trails are all riding well and the final touches are taking place on the gravity tracks with Outlaw and International getting a make over. 

NOTE: We expected to open all gravity trails for the weekend of 30 Nov - 1 Dec) however torrential rain in recent days has left the trails sodden. For safety, and trail preservation, they will not open until they've dried out a little. Please check on the trail report and with the Blue Dirt team for when shuttle supported gravity thrills will be served!

The Summit Nature Walk has had a refurb, and it's looking better than ever, with wildflowers in full bloom. There are newly landscaped steps on the southern slopes and the whole loop is in great condition for accessible walking for all the family. Make sure you do the short steep climb up to the summit for jaw-dropping regional views and be sure to tag @mt_buller in your shots - we'd love to see them.

Pump Track Ready & AirZone Open
For those in the village, the tangerine-dream pump track is waiting for riders to take on its twists and turns. And don’t forget the indoor option for adventure with the AirZone—open weekends in summer from 12 - 4pm. Bookings are a good idea - and yes - you can book a party, so drop them a line!

RockWire is Back
Looking for a serious thrill with a view? Mt Buller’s own via ferrata adventure, RockWire, is open and booking up fast! Whether you’re an experienced climber or trying it for the first time, this is one adventure you must check off your list this summer.  If you're one of the lucky ones who has already climbed route 1, route 2 will be opening later in the summer, offering a whole new perspective from the cliff and a more challenging climb to get stuck into - are you up for it?

Food, Drinks & More
When you're ready for a break, head over to Arlberg House at the top of the village, or Blue Dirt in the Village Square for some tasty bites and drinks, or drop by the Buller Grocer for supplies.  Other operators including Coffee Garage and Kooroora will open to meet demand - keep an eye on the What's On for the latest hours.

Locals Day Out Shuttles
A smart new way to explore more of the mountain and surrounds. Friendly and informed local drivers can connect your walking, riding, lunching, wine tasting or river dipping plans slot into place without having to debate who will do the driving. Ride down the Delatite River Trail and get a lift back to Mansfield or Mt Buller, ride from Mansfield to Delatite Winery for a long lunch and get dropped back to your alpine accommodation on Mt Buller for the sunset... if you have a plan Local's Day Out would love to help you make it happen. Check out all the details here.
