Mt Buller - Victorian Interschools and Events

Mt Buller hosted Victoria’s first ‘Interschools’ competition in 1958 when Melbourne Grammar School and Scotch College kicked off a winter tradition that has endured for over 65 years. Mt Buller is proud of its rich snowsports history and fosters future generations of skiers and boarders through events including Interschools at state and national level, a bustling Ski & Snowboard School seasonal program, race club and Olympic Training facilities for the Australian freestyle team.

Mt Buller is proudly home to 2 x Olympic gold medallist Jakara Anthony who started her athlete journey in the Magic Forest at Mt Buller Ski & Snowboard School and developed a taste for competition through her participation in the Victorian Interschools among other events.

In 2026 Mt Buller looks forward to welcoming athletes for an expanded event window with more time to accommodate the youngest participants in Division 6 (prep – Year 2) with a dedicated day of races to start the week.

Look out for updates in resort this season including a new covered carpet lift for young beginners and ongoing updates to snowmaking as Mt Buller works to continually improve the experience on the slopes and around the village for guests. The Mt Buller community is committed to building on the legacy of 102 fun-filled years of skiing dating back to 1924 and creating a bright future for the generations of skiers and snowboarders to come.

ABOUT THE RESORT

Just a three-hour drive from Melbourne there are many reasons why Mt Buller is one of Australia’s most popular alpine resorts attracting skiers and boarders to its slopes and scenic alpine village.

Buller Ski Lifts is proudly a locally owned family business and the mountain boasts Victoria’s largest network of lifts and 300+ hectares of terrain. 80+kms of mostly groomed runs span the resort area and range from the wide gentle beginner slopes of Bourke St and Burnt Hut to the popular blue runs Family Run and Shakey Knees with plenty of challenges for those seeking bumps and steeps on the southern side of the mountain. A skilled park team builds and maintains a rider-cross course and two superb terrain parks at Koflers and Skyline enabling riders to progress with a range of features and jumps. When conditions allow super size jumps are sculpted up on the Summit for experienced riders.

Mt Buller is continually improving the ski experience for guests on and off the ski area. A large water storage on the upper mountain can hold up to 100 megalitres for the village supply and snowmaking and additional pumping infrastructure to deliver more snow to where it’s needed

Mt Buller is at the forefront with programs and continuous improvements to conserve energy and water and ensure sustainable operations in our fragile alpine environment.  World class lighting installations on Chamois and Bourke Street enable events and training to stretch from day to night and there is a large solar panel array on the roof of the upper mountain machinery shed to harness solar energy.

Mt Buller is famous for après experiences and a lively village with multiple dining and bar options.  Recent improvements to the deck at Spurs including a DJ deck and delicious slow-cook BBQ make it a must-visit location on a sunny day.  Arlberg Hotel has come to the party adding an al-fresco rooftop bar to their venue and pop-up dining nights at Villager, The Whitt and Kaptan’s are must-do each winter with headline chefs bringing a taste of Melbourne to the mountain.

One of the things people love Mt Buller is the picturesque alpine village nestled up in the snowline. There are more on-mountain beds at Mt Buller than in any alpine resort in Australia so ski-in, ski-out is a great way to get the complete winter experience. Strolling to dinner at any one of the 30+ venues in the resort is easy and there are great take away options if you want to curl up by the fire. Guests love the convenience of skiing into the village, the après vibe, plenty of retail options and the huge range of accommodation from budget to bling. Visitors are often surprised at all the extras up here too like the alpine spa, Alpine Aurora light display in the village, sled dog experiences, indoor trampoline and climbing at the Airzone, massive cinema and well-stocked Buller Grocer.

The Mt Buller community is excited to again welcome the Victorian Interschools athletes and families for great times shared with good people in the mountains.
