Summer Trails Open on Mt Buller
BULLER MTB BRIGHT 22
Mt Buller and Mt Stirling welcomed walkers and riders back to the trails this past weekend. Mt Buller and Mt Stirling’s walking and bike trails officially reopened on Saturday, November 2, inviting everyone to get moving, enjoy a walk or a ride, and take in the alpine views.
More Trails Open Early
Following early snowmelt and a run of good weather, more trails than usual are set to open this weekend. “The team has done an excellent job clearing tree fall and preparing the trails for summer visitors to enjoy,” explained Alan Arthur, General Manager of Mt Buller Mt Stirling Resort Management. “This weekend is a fantastic preview of what’s to come this summer, and we’re pleased to confirm all the walk trails on Mt Buller and Mt Stirling, including the Klingsporn trail to Mirimbah, have the green light. I hope plenty of walkers get out and enjoy the amazing weather forecast up here this Cup weekend.”
Bike Trail Preparation and Openings
“The talented and passionate team from Contourworks are working closely with our trail crew and have already made solid inroads on the extensive mountain bike trail network across both mountains, with more to come before the full network opening in early December.”
From this weekend (2-3 Nov), mountain bikers will be able to get in first tracks on Gang Gangs and Clancy’s, which have been freshly revamped. Work continues on Trigger Happy, which is open this weekend, although with some final touches still to come. The popular flow trail, Copperhead, is also ready.
Seasonal Bloom Highlights
Visitors to the alpine resort this weekend will discover alpine buttercups are in full flower around the Mt Buller summit area, with golden Alpine Phebalium turning the northside slopes along the Summit Nature Trail bright yellow. The deep purple Hovea Montana is also a beautiful sight.
Trail and Area Closures for Safety
The resort thanks guests for staying off closed trails for safety. ABOM, International, and Outlaw trails are closed while the team prepares them for the December full-season opening. The Australian Alpine Epic trail is expected to be ready in December once seasonal maintenance is complete and the final descent is cleared for safe riding.
Summit Nature Loop and RockWire Climb
The star-attraction walk, the Summit Nature Loop, is open this weekend but will have a partial closure for a couple of weeks during November while repairs to staircases in the steep sections of the southern slopes are made. The walk will then reopen fully by early December, ready for summer guests.
Mt Buller’s exciting RockWire ‘via ferrata’ climb at the summit is opening for the season, with the first climbs available from this weekend.
Additional Village Amenities
The pump track will be ready for riders in the village, and Arlberg House is offering meals and refreshments. Buller Grocer and bottle shop are open, and information and maps are available at Alpine Central near the Clocktower.
Mt Stirling Summer Roads Open
The first weekend in November marks the opening of summer roads at Mt Stirling, including Corn Hill access to Howqua Gap and beyond to Craig’s Hut.
Upcoming Shuttle Services
MTB shuttle services and the Mirimbah Store are set to open in early December.
