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
) 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 Buller
Sports in Mansfield, next door the the Cinema in Mansfield.

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.

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