Famous for its steep and challenging terrain, free Kat skiing beyond the boundaries and stunning views of The Australian Alps National Park, Hotham does have great walk-on beginner terrain so all abilities can enjoy this magnificent ridgetop location.

Hotham Alpine Resort is now Australia’s most accessible alpine resort with its own airport open year-round. Only an 80 minute flight with QantasLink from Sydney or take a charter flight from Melbourne.

Driving takes you through the beautiful food and wine regions of north-east Victoria. It’s a 4.5 hour drive from Melbourne or 2.5 hours from Albury with self-drive, coach or private transfers on offer.

A host of activities are available and many are only offered at Hotham, such as winter dogsledding,  free Kat skiing, kids snowmobiling, a cross-country ski/biathlon range, and sparkling sunset tours to the summit of Mt Hotham.
