IN a season that has already been hampered by restrictions, lack of snow at the worst time and a positive COVID case, Mt Buller took yet another big hit last week when the State Government advised all Victorian alpine resorts are closed to visitors as part of its stage 3 restrictions across regional Victoria.

From last Thursday visitors were no longer permitted to enter the Mt Buller and Mt Stirling resorts, with any breaches eligible for a significant fine.

“It’s been a very difficult year for everyone associated with Mt Buller and Mt Stirling including visitors, businesses, residents and resort staff,” said Mt Buller and Mt Stirling Resort chief executive officer Mark Bennetts.
