Q: What is the difference between the "Express" Tour and the "Normal" Mt Buller Tour?

Q: Where do I hire my snow gear on this tour?
A: Gear hire is conveniently located at the Horsehill Car Park on Mount Buller, which is exactly where your bus will park.
Q: What happens if the tour doesn't reach the minimum of 6 adults?
A: If the minimum number is not met, your booking is still safe! We will seamlessly offer you a spot on our normal Mount Buller Snow Day Tour for that day.
