Mount Buffalo Chalet, Heritage chalet in Mount Buffalo National Park, Victoria, Australia
The timber building stands at the edge of Bent's Lookout, offering views across the Ovens and Buckland valleys through large windows.
The Victorian Government constructed Mount Buffalo Chalet in 1910, following the completion of the first road to the summit in 1908.
The chalet served as Australia's first ski resort and welcomed European migrants after World War II, providing them a connection to their alpine heritage.
Visitors can explore the terraced European gardens and access the site through the Gorge day visitor area, which includes parking facilities and restrooms.
The building underwent a $2.8 million restoration in 2019, focusing on structural repairs, roof maintenance, and weatherboard replacement to preserve its condition.
