Mt. Buller Ski Tour from Melbourne

Melbourne, Australia

Take a full-day, winter-time Mt Buller Ski Tour to feel the buzz and excitement of Melbourne's most accessible ski resort. Mt Buller's ski slopes and alpine village are a winter wonderland between June and early October, and Buller is the closest ski resort to an international airport in Australia. No wonder Mt Buller is so popular with visitors and weekending locals from Melbourne alike.

Your Mt Buller Ski tour starts with a scenic drive through the picturesque Yarra Valley, passing quaint country townships like Yea and Bonnie Doon, and enters Victoria's High Country at Mansfield. Once at the Mt Buller snow fields you'll have plenty of time to explore the village, use the chair lift and receive advice from the experts on snow activities.

Thanks Viator. Our trip went very smoothly. The bus driver was great, very informative and the day was amazing. It is definately a trip that we will always remember and would definately recommend it to anyone.

Great day, picked up on time, friendly coach driver gave interesting commentary along the way. Plenty of time in the snow, enough for a days skiing if you wanted. It even snowed so made a great trip for those who had never seen snow

Review by: Amandeep M	August 2011
overall was very comfortable and fantastic value, just that bus driver izzy was not too keen to open doors to the bus even when passengers were out in the rain and freezing cold while he was sitting and watching us get wet waiting for the exact time to open the doors

Review by: LANA T	August 2011
I would recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Melbourne and wants to experience the snow. Mt Buller is absolutely beautiful and the tour is very well organised, picking us up from the front of our hotel and dropping us back there that night. The driver was very informative along the way answered any questions. After a day in the snow we are now planning on going back for a lot longer. Well worth every cent for a day trip on a short Melbourne stay.

This trip was fantastic. From the moment we were picked up we felt at ease and relaxed. The journey was long, however the bus driver kept us entertained and my partner and I were amazed at the knowledge of the bus driver and his commentary. It was a great day and a lot of fun in the snow.

Clean bus and friendly driver. Despite 6 hours of travelling you still seem to have plenty of time on the snow.

Review by: Andrew M	July 2011
hi, well nature really turned it on for our trip to Mt Buller, we had snow, rain, sunshine and cold wind, what more could you ask for in a trip to the snow. Grayline coaches driver (Con) went out of his way to make sure everyone was kept informed and safe even when it meant delaying the bus departure.

Review by: Ivy-Anne C	July 2011
It was good but it could have left a bit earlier so that we could have made the 11 am ski lesson.

Review by: Mark S	July 2011
Had a good time. You need to hire at least snow pants and shoes if you are going to play in the snow.

Review by: Andrew M	July 2011
The trip was great but I was very disappointed to find that the bus did not pick up from the rather grotty Coburg Motor Inn listed on your website as a pick-up location.

Review by: Lenny R	July 2011
Brilliant tour! Our driver, Geoff, was absolutely pleasant and informative. Thumbs up!

Review by: Robert W	September 2010
Had a great day. Would have liked to have arrived earlier at Mt. Buller so when you have finished ski lessons you can actually have time on the slopes, a little bit rushed for time. Otherwise a good day out.

This tour is well worth doing. The resort at Buller was awesome!! The bus driver quite imformative and was happy to drop off every one at different locations at the end of the day. Even locationshotels that were not on his list.

Review by: Denise Z, Australia	July 2010
The coach driver was pleasant and was very profession in his driving and explaining the sights all the way. He was helpful and very understanding. It was an excellent trip and I would have no problems recommending anyone to go for it!

Review by: Haryani O	July 2010
We had fresh snow while on Mt. Buller. Lucky for us that it snowed 2 days prior to our arrival. Wish we had taken the ski lessons!!! That is a must do in our next trip.

Review by: Andrea D, Australia	June 2010
Very organised. Don driver from Grayline collected us from our hotel and explained everything in detail as to the course of the day. Although as a horse enthusiest there was not mention of Mansfield & Merrijig being where they filmed the "Man from Snowy River". Maybe this bit of trivia would have been interesting to others as the movie was shown on the way back on the coach Regarless of this, the trip was comfortable and felt very safe with Don's driving. Thanks to all. Regards Andrea

Review by: Heather S, Australia	September 2009
We would have liked a bit more guidance on the mountain of what we could do for our package particularly when we weren't skiing. It would have been nice to access more of the ski lifts so we could view more of Mt Buller. We were restricted to 1 ski lift which only took us a very short distance up the hill. Value for money for a family wasn't there. Very expensive for a family! Had no idea how little snow there was and to travel a 14 hour day with the kids was very disappointing.

Review by: Clinton B, Australia	August 2009
All the young kids on the mountain were really good friendly and helpful. Bus driver was very informative.

Review by: Norm H, Australia	August 2009
I had a great trip! The driver was good. Would do this again!

Review by: Katherine A, Thailand	August 2009
Although the trip was fun, it would have been better to arrive at the mountain a little earlier. We just missed the 11:00am lesson, which meant that we had to wait for the lesson at 1:30pm. It is a 2 hour lesson, and then we had to be at the bus by 4:00. There was no time to practice what we learned. We needed more time to actually ski.

Review by: Thu N, Australia	August 2009
A professional driver, very comfortable coach, and they were punctual.

Review by: Robert Andrew S, Australia	August 2009
The tour should commence earlier to allow for passengers to do ski or snowboard lessons. Also perhaps a set booking for passengers for lunch at one of the restaurants would be good as the day we went we were unable to enjoy a sit down lunch due to the crowds. Perhaps a map of the facilities on Mt Buller could be provided for easy orientation. The bus driver was a little grumpy.

A very well organised day without any hassle, and a fantastic way to visit the snow on a limited time schedule. The snow was beyond our expectations. We loved it and will go back for longer next time!

What can I say? I love snow!

I managed to go on a perfect spring day. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The driver was very knowledgeable about the area, and the people on and off the mountain were very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this trip to any skiing enthusiast.

Review by: Chan S, Malaysia	August 2008
It was a pleasant day tour at Mt. Buller, especially for me and the family who were 1st time touching the snow. We enjoyed it very much and will plan for a next visit next winter.

Review by: Anonymous, Australia	July 2008
We had a fantastic day in the snow, just 2.5 hours from Melbourne. The weather was perfect on the day so I guess this enhanced our experience but booking this tour was a great way to do a visit to the snow if you have never done so before. We could just sit back and enjoy the scenery and the commentary!

Review by: Greg Y, Australia	September 2007
For someone who has never seen snow before we had a great day. Our guide was great and very funny. The views are beautiful, recommend for everyone.

Review by: Antonio T, Australia	September 2007
The driver was very helpful and professional. Enjoyed the smooth ride, enjoyed experiencing snow again. Would have liked a longer stay, maybe next time have three days at Mt. Buller so we can experience some skiing. All in all a great trip enjoyed by all the family.

It was the best time. I was a little worried about booking a tour for my family over the Internet. As this was our first holiday away from home, I was hoping everything would go to plan. From the moment we arrived, early in the morning, to the moment we arrived back at the depot, we had a great time. Our driver was entertaining, informative and friendly. We did not feel as though we were being pushed around on a package deal at all. This was a great experience, and I would encourage our friends to take this tour. Thank you for a great time.

This was the first time for the kids to feel the snow fall, and they really enjoyed tobogganing.
