Road Cycling

Test your fitness on Victoria’s classic ride, the Mt Buller Tourist Road. This gruelling 16km climb rises by 909 vertical metres. It was the fourth stage of last year’s Jayco Herald Sun tour and is the first day’s ride of the High Country Cycle Challenge. The road is signposted with distances and altitudes from the base of the mountain. Pit yourself against local rider Simon Gerrans, Olympian, stage winner at the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia. He completed the climb in 39 minutes and 50 seconds- a personal best.

Mountain Biking

With over 100 kilometres of trails across all levels of ability, Mt Buller is the place to test your mountain biking skills or try the sport for the first time.

Add to the mix the Bike Buller MTB Festival, the Buller Cup, qualified expert instructors and guides, technicians as well as full equipment hire on the mountain, and you havethe makings of a perfect biking destination. Check out the new cross-country tracks in the Corn Hill area. Designed by Glen Jacobs of World Trail, they are part of our ongoing focus on biking in the area. Many cross-country trails are suitable for the whole family. For adrenalin junkies, four long, downhill trails are fully serviced by the Horse Hill chairlift. Ride from the top of Mt Buller down to the bottom and catch the Mirimbah Store Shuttle back up- various trails.

Meet the Pygmy-possum

The Mountain Pygmy-possum (Burryamus parvus) is a creature unique to the High Country. Due to climate change and habitat degradation, this possum is threatened with extinction. As part of a five-year recovery plan, the possum’s habitat is being protected and enhanced. To learn more, check out the interpretive Summit Nature Walk.

Bushwalking

One of the most rewarding ways to enjoy the High Country is on foot. Bushwalking is a great way to access places beyond the scope of a bicycle or a four-wheel drive. Soak up the peace, look for birds and other wildlife and when you reach a fabulous view, stop for lunch and a drink. There are many trails accessible from Mt Buller, some suitable for novices and families others for hardcore bush-bashers. A great introduction to walking in the High Country is the trail from Mt Buller to Howqua Gap - it is just over 4kms and connects with Circuit Road on Mr Stirling through alpine woodlands. It is Trail 10 on the Adventure Map. For your copy of the Adventure Map, as well as safety advice and more ideas, contact the Mansfield Visitor Information Centre.
