SAFETY

This brochure is intended as a guide only.

TRAILS - Mountain biking can be hazardous. Trails may include unmarked obstacles and hazards such as sticks, rocks, logs, trees, steep inclines, drop-offs and loose surfaces. Riders attempting these tracks do so at their own risk. The trails shown are graded according to their difficulty. Choose a trail that matches your fitness, ability and equipment and ride within your limits.

COME PREPARED - Mt Buller is an alpine environment and conditions can change quickly, with sub-zero temperatures and even snow occurring in summer - check the weather forecast and come prepared. Mobile phone coverage (particularly Telstra) is fairly good throughout the Resort, and it is advised that you carry a mobile phone. Ensure your mobile phone is fully charged.

FIRST AID / EMERGENCY - Gravity - First aid is available during gravity trail operating hours. Notify the nearest staff member and advise the nature of the injury and your location. XC - Phone 000 and quote the number on the nearest ESTA trail marker (example above). You can also phone Resort Management on 03 5777 6077, who may be able to reach emergency services on your behalf (8:30am–5pm weekdays & 10am–4pm weekends).

CONDUCTThe way we ride today shapes mountain bike trail access tomorrow. Keep trails open by setting a good example of environmentally sound and socially responsible cycling. Do your part to preserve and enhance our sports access and image by observing the following rules.

1. Ride on open trails only - Respect trail and road closures (ask if uncertain).

2. Control your bicycle - Maintain a safe speed at all times and slow down for blind corners, and keep a safe distance between yourself and the rider in front of you.

3. Leave no trace - Be sensitive to the dirt beneath you and practise low-impact cycling. Wet and muddy trails are more vulnerable, so when the trail surface is soft consider other routes. Stay on existing trails and never create new ones. Don’t cut corners and avoid skidding as this damages trails and can lead to erosion.

4. Respect animals - The resorts are home to a variety of native animals. Animals can be startled by an unannounced approach, sudden movement or a loud noise.

5. Plan ahead - Know your equipment, your ability and the area in which you are riding and prepare accordingly. Alpine weather can be unpredictable.

Be self-sufficient at all times, keep your equipment in good repair, and carry supplies for changes in weather. Always wear a helmet and appropriate safety gear.

6. Shared Trails - Mt Buller’s trail network is shared by many other users, including hikers, trail runners and horse riders. Do your utmost to let your fellow trail users know you’re coming – a friendly greeting or bell ring are good methods. Try to anticipate other trail users as you ride around corners. Use the shared trail icon as a guide. Stop, dismount and give way when approaching horses, and share the trail with all user groups.

BIKE HYGIENE To avoid the spread of unwanted weeds and pathogens, and to protect the Australian Alpine environment, please ensure all boots and equipment are cleaned before you arrive, and cleaned as you leave the resort.

Cleaning locations around Mt Buller and surrounding areas: • Behind Village Square Plaza • At participating Bike Buller Recommends properties • Mirimbah Store

The Australian Alpine Epic is the first IMBA accredited Epic trail in the Southern Hemisphere, offering a 40km endurance ride that descends over 1,600 meters from the top of Mt Buller down into the surrounding valley. Tough and exhilarating, it takes riders on a truly unique journey travelling through snowgum woodlands that exist nowhere else in the world, to treeless alpine summits, dropping off into cool ferny glades surrounded by granite monoliths, and finishing alongside a crystal clear mountain stream. Grab a copy of the ‘Epic’ trail map from Alpine Central.
