    • NB. over summer, Mt Buller is very quiet with < 100 people on the mountain and as a result there are no shops open apart from a very small mini-mart at the Arlberg Hotel, and meals are available at only 3 places - the Arlberg Hotel for pub meals, Vic Ski Assoc for bistro meals & the Breathtaker Hotel for more upmarket meals

      • NB. summer on the alps is similar temperatures to Melbourne in June (ie. avg 7min-16max degC)
