STEP 2. BRING THE FUN WITH A KIDS SKI LESSON
Maximise the family's ski getaway by levelling up the skills at Mt Buller Ski and Snowboard School . The little ones will love the Bunyips Ski Lesson program. Especially designed for 3 - 6 year olds, the kids will enjoy small groups, an included lift ticket, world-class teaching and a bunch of fun.
Older kids will have a great time in lessons for 7 - 14 year olds and adults can unlock even more of the mountain in group or private lessons.
VICTORIA’S LARGEST LIFT NETWORK
STEP 3. HIT THE SLOPES FOR SOME ME TIME
While the kids are working on their skills, take some me time and hit the Mt Buller slopes.
Discover over 300 hectares of skiable terrain and the largest lift network in Victoria. From green to double black runs and Terrain Parks, there’s something for sliders of all levels. Or take a break and watch the snowy world go round from the deck of one of the iconic on-mountain cafes.
UNFORGETTABLE FAMILY MEMORIES
STEP 4. EXPLORE THE TRAILS WITH THE FAMILY
Pick up the kids from their lesson and test out the new skills exploring the wonders of Mt Buller . Make memories on the chairlift, build confidence on gentle Bourke Street, take it up a notch on Baldy or challenge the team on intermediate Family Run and Wombat.

STEP 5. WARM UP WITH A HOT CHOCOLATE
