Mt Buller is Australia’s premier mountain resort, located only three hours from Melbourne in the heart of Victoria’s Alpine region. The mountain has the most accessible skiable terrain and excellent facilities.

The Grollo Group is the largest investor at Mt Buller with interests in ski operations, property, retail, rental, accommodation and food outlets. During the ski season, the Grollo Group employs up to 650 people.

Mt Buller provided the Grollo Group with the opportunity to pursue their interests in sport, tourism and education. The group has developed excellent facilities for Australian and international tourists; sponsored and developed a university campus; and established the Olympic Winter Institute. The Institute is an innovative concept in Australia that is dedicated to supporting winter sport athletes. It has produced Australia’s finest winter athletes, including Jackie Cooper, Kirstie Marshall, Alisa Camplin, Lydia Ieradiaconou, and Liz Gardner.

Rino and Diana Grollo financed the first World Aerial Championships at Mt Buller in 1997 and these are now an annual event on the mountain. This support for facilities and events has made Mt Buller Australia’s site for international and local sporting competitions.

BULLER SKI LIFTS

The Grollo Group purchased the Bourke Street Ski Lift Company in 1992, renaming it Buller Ski Lifts Pty. Ltd. Since then, the Grollos have made a major investment in rejuvenating and expanding facilities at Mt Buller to ensure it remains Australia’s best mountain resort.

Buller Ski Lifts has developed extensive, world-class infrastructure on the mountain, including superior ski lift operations, snow making and grooming systems and skiing and snow play areas.

Today, Mt Buller has the largest capacity ski lift operations of any Victorian alpine resort, lifting 40,000 skiers per hour on a network of 26 lifts. Buller Ski Lifts also has Australia’s highest capacity snowmaking system, along with a 15 vehicle grooming fleet that maintains 80 km of groomed trails. The recently constructed $600,000 Snow Kat Garage provides excellent facilities for maintaining the valuable grooming machines. This infrastructure and equipment means Mt Buller can reliably produce a premier surface for skiers throughout the season.

New skiing trails and snow play areas have been opened. In 1997, the aerial jump site was constructed in time for Mt Buller to host the first annual World Cup freestyle event. In 1998, Buller Ski Lifts established Australia’s first snow tubing park and recently completed the new Tram Stop tubing park, recognising the increasing popularity of Mt Buller as a sightseeing and snow play venue.
