"A Tyrolean touch in the antipodean alps."
Mount Buller is one of Australia's most impressive ski areas and home to some of the country's most challenging runs. The best accommodation here is Hotel Pension Grimus, renowned for more than just its guest rooms, facilities and perfect location right beside the ski trail — the main drawcard of this beautiful mountain retreat is its warmth and friendly atmosphere. Your hosts Hans and Lotte Grimus are snowfield legends, famous for their Austrian-style hospitality; Hans even has a ski-lift named after him.
Pension Grimus offers luxurious, spacious and well-appointed guest rooms and apartments with en-suite bathrooms (most have spas) and generously large beds. In the sauna and spa complex you'll find a refreshing plunge pool. Everything you need, including ski hire, is here — the hotel has an absolute ski in/ski out location next to the lifts and snow sports school, so simply step out the door and you're on the way to a great day's skiing.
There's more than a hint of Tyrolean atmosphere in the cocktail bar, which boasts a huge range of schnapps, while the award-winning restaurant welcomes you with an open fire. Austrian culinary specialties share the menu with other delectable international fare. Pension Grimus is ideal for a romantic weekend for two or the annual family ski holiday.
