The summit can nearly be reached by car.

 Of course the mountain can also be summited entirely on foot via the Klingsporn walking track.  

This is an eight kilometre walk on a well defined walking track.

More adventurous hikers can talk a detour on the track called the, “Thank Christ Corner,” which allows you to go off track along Shoulder Spur to Mclaughlin Spur all the way to the summit.  McLaughlin Spur boasts fantastic views all the way to the summit.

  Mount Buller also offers Victoria a number of winter sports during the wintertime when the mountain is covered in snow.

 Visitors to the mountain can enjoy the nine kilometres of cross-country trails the mountain provides.  The trails are easily accessible and equipment is available for hire at the multiple on-mountain outlets.  Mt. Buller is also renowned for its downhill skiing and snowboarding.

Whether you are a beginner or an expert, Mt. Buller has a run for you.  Ranging from easy “green” runs all the way to advanced “black” runs, anyone can ski or snowboard at Mt. Buller.

In addition to downhill skiing and snowboarding, the mountain also has a terrain park for those who enjoy freestyle skiing or snowboarding.

 Night skiing is also on offer.  If you are tired after a long day on the slopes, you can take a ride on the Mt. Buller Northside Mount BullerExpress scenic chairlift.

 The chairlift departs from the day car park and takes riders all the way up to Spurs Lookout, giving you a birds-eye view of Mt. Bullers beautiful slopes along the way.

Additionally, sceneic helicopter rides can also be booked that provide fantastic views of Mt. Buller and the surrounding scenery.

 If you are looking for a more Arctic experience, you can also book a sled dog tour.

As part of the tour, you get a meet and greet with the huskies, a photo session, and a run through the trails on Mt. Buller, lead by your pack of sled dogs.

There are a number of different tours of varying length available, ranging from 10-minute runs to 3.5-hour runs.

The mountain offers an interesting snowgaining course (kind of like a mountain side scavenger hunt) as well as a number of snowshoeing trails.

Telemarking (free-heel skiing) is another popular activity at Mt. Buller.  The ski and snowboard school on the mountain offers lessons for those who are interested in learning to telemark ski.

Of couse, what would a mountain be without the childhood classic tobogganing?  The mountain has a number of tobogganing areas that are great fun for anyone, no matter what age.
