The Mount Buffalo Chalet is an accommodation resort in the Mount Buffalo National Park administered by Parks Victoria. It is the largest timber building in Australia.
History
The Mount Buffalo Chalet was built in 1910 by the Public Works Department as the first ski resort in the Victorian Alps. It was leased to private enterprise as a guest house.[1][2] In October 1924 it was taken over by the Victorian Railways who offered holiday packages, with train services from Melbourne connecting with Hoys Roadlines services at Porepunkah railway station.[3][4][5][6]
In December 1985 it passed to the Victorian Tourism Commission.[3] After being leased privately in 1993, it closed in January 2007.[5][7] It is the largest timber building in Australia.[8]
In December 2024 it was announced that Belgravia Group had signed a 40-year lease to open the Chalet for experiential learning programs, such as school camps.[9] The café is also expected to reopen.
