Course Description

The 23 km course launches from the Alpine Village on the gentle Family Trail, winding past Split Rock and Cornhill Spur before a fast descent into the Delatite Valley, hopping log bridges over the river. At Mirimbah Crossover you catch a breather before tackling the relentless Klingsporn climb, followed by the technical McLoughlins Spur (the North Face). After conquering a 1 150 m ascent to the summit just shy of 1 805 m, the final 2 km Athletes Walk brings you back to the Village Square for applause. The route blends rolling single‑track, steep climbs and rewarding alpine vistas.

February is summer in Australia, and Mount Buller enjoys warm days with cool alpine evenings. Expect daytime highs of 15‑25 °C, occasional sunshine and the chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Dress in layers – a breathable base, a wind‑proof jacket, and a hat or buff. Bring plenty of water (minimum 2 L) and stay hydrated, especially if temperatures climb.
