Hi Sabu,

Track is very defined and once above the treeline you are either on the ridhe or not.

It's a moderate hike

To begine drive up doughty's road this is marked by a wooden sign and comes up just prior to entrance gate for Mt. Buller.

You drive up this for about 10 mins and the road bificates make sure you take the straigh path for about 300m the you will see a sign post to begin the hike. New trail markers and signs have been erected.

2 - 2.5 hous will see oyu at the col before the summit in heavier snow
