Located at Mount Buller, Iltis Ski Club exists for the pursuit of skiing and snowboarding in winter, and various alpine activities – such as bike riding, walking and plein air painting – in summer. It is a not-for-profit organisation, run by enthusiastic members and long-serving hut managers.

The club was established by a group of like-minded friends in the late 1950s. Each one contributed £139 and agreed to work for free to build the lodge. The final window panes were fitted on the Queen’s Birthday weekend in 1962 – just in time for the club to be officially opened ahead of that year’s bumper ski season. Remarkably, one of those founding members remains an active club member today, as do many descendents of other founding members. While the club has undergone numerous improvements and expansions over the decades, the original club values and cosy communal atmosphere remain unchanged.

Iltis offers comfortable accommodation to members and guests at attractive rates. Many of our guests return to the club on a regular basis, but we also warmly welcome new guests.
