Mt Buller is one of Australia’s best-loved ski destinations offering lifted skiing to winter visitors since 1949. An easy 3 hour drive north-east from Melbourne Mt Buller attracts a cosmopolitan crowd to its picturesque 300 hectare ski area and vibrant alpine village.

If you need some energy before hitting the trails, a midday boost, or an après treat, you must try the Apricot Mogul at Koflers Hutte in the Summit area. For years, the Fleming family has been baking these strudel-style desserts, fueling both visitors and staff members on the mountain. The apricots create the ‘mogul’appearance, and they’re delicious served hot, cold, or with a cheeky dollop of cream.
Mt Buller has a pack of local celebrities—literally. The sled dogs are true mountain superstars, and you won’t want to miss your chance to snap a selfie with these adorable, boisterous pups. See if you can spot the Australian Kelpie in the pack—there’s only one. Learn how to mush and then hop in the sled for a thrilling ride.
