Frequently Asked Questions

Will there be snow when I want to come up?
Mt Buller is very confident that there’ll be snow for your holiday. In fact, we’re so confident that we offer a ski guarantee on pre-purchased lift tickets. So, you can buy your lift tickets in advance through Mt Buller AMS and if the conditions aren’t up to scratch, you’ll get a refund. Of course, some conditions apply, (for more details on the Ski Guarantee, look it up on
www.mtbuller.com.au ) but we think this is a great way to show you how confident we are that you’ll enjoy your holiday in the snow.

Do I have to carry chains for the car?

Yes. Carrying snow chains in your vehicle during winter is mandatory; you will be asked whether you are carrying chains when you pay your resort entry. Chains can be obtained from any of the hire outlets in Mansfield.


Where do I park my car?

After passing through the Resort Entry Gate you will travel, for approximately another 20 minutes, to parking control. Parking control attendants will direct you to your parking bay. Unauthorised vehicles are not permitted into the village.


Can I park my car in the village?

No, unauthorised vehicles are not permitted into the village.


How much are the parking fees?

Entry fee per vehicle is $28. Each extra weekday night (Sunday - Thursday inclusive) costs $6; each extra weekend night (Friday & Saturday inclusive) costs $12.

You will need to pay your parking fees when you will pass through the Resort Entry Gate at the base of the mountain. You will also pay for your oversnow/taxi fare. You will be asked whether you are carrying chains.

How do I get to the apartment?

A four-wheel drive taxi will pick you up from your car park within minutes. Advise the driver where you are staying. The 4WD over snow/taxi transfer fees are paid at the Entry Gate to the mountain (along with your car parking fee).

YOU MUST call 0419 562 273 as you are about to board the taxi. This will allow us time to send a representative to your apartment so you can obtain the keys.

Please be very specific with your instructions to the taxi driver. Ask him to take you to the building your apartment is in, this can be found on your booking confirmation. If the taxi driver has any difficulties finding your apartment building, ask him to call us Mt Buller AMS 0419 562 273.

How much are the taxi transfer fares?

Adult: $26 return; Child: $16 return (child age 14 & under)

This taxi fee includes 2 items of luggage and skis/boots per person. Excess luggage will be an additional charge. Keep your return ticket to use when you depart.

Can I have a late checkout?

Unfortunately, no. Due to the demands placed on our cleaning staff, apartments need to be vacated by 10am on the day of departure to allow our staff time to prepare for our next visitors.


Can I arrive early?

Again, unfortunately, no. Our cleaning staff will not have your apartment ready for occupancy before 4pm on the day of your arrival.


Is there anywhere to store luggage?

Unfortunately, no, there isn't. We suggest the safest method to store your luggage is to leave your bags in your vehicle.
Therefore, Mt Buller AMS suggests the following:


Can I buy groceries on Mt Buller?

Winter 2006 saw a new Foodworks supermarket open at Mt Buller, designed to service locals and guests alike on a year round basis.

Foodworks Mt Buller is located at the base of the Blue Bullet1 chairlift, and is a full-service supermarket with grocery, fruit and vegetables, dairy, frozen, and 'heat and serve' meal options.

There is also an extensive liquor department with a beer coolroom, as well as a range of Mitre 10 hardware products.  The owners also operate supermarket and hardware stores off mountain, so if they do not range a certain product on the mountain, they will get it in for you.

You can email or fax your orders in advance or you can have your groceries delivered.  There is a delivery fee of $5 for any order under $100.  Payment must be made by credit card or in person prior to delivery.  Drop offs will be delivered to the location specified (in case of multi-story apartments, groceries will be delivered to the base level).

For more information or to download a grocery order form:

Tel (03) 5777 6133       Fax (03) 5777 6311
